Ballistic impact mechanism is a very complex mechanical process mainly depends on the
thickness, strength, ductility, toughness and density of the target material and projectile …

The main factors in the ballistic impact mechanism, an incredibly complicated mechanical
process, are the target material's thickness, toughness, strength, ductility, density, and …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces have so far been made by roughening a
hydrophobic material. However, no surfaces were able to repel extremely-low-energy liquids …

Combat helmets provide protection against ballistic threats and blunt impact forces, and
wearing them has greatly reduced head injuries and saved lives of many soldiers. With the …

Recently, UHMWPE fabric and composites have gained attraction in ballistics due to their
impressive strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance. This article provides a critical …

Multilayer graphene is an exceptional anisotropic material due to its layered structure
composed of two-dimensional carbon lattices. Although the intrinsic mechanical properties …

With increasing international and civilian conflicts, develo** advanced body armor

In nature, many insects have evolved sclerotic cuticles to shelter their soft bodies, which are
considered as “body armor”. For beetles, the epidermis is composed of cross-linked …

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber reinforced composite laminates
have been widely used to defend against projectiles and fragments. Although the ballistic …
