Finite element analysis of ballistic response of laminated textile fabric multilayers in LS-DYNA
Laminated textile fabrics (LTF) consist of woven or non-crimped fabric(NCF) structure bonded together by thermoplastic resin and polyethylene films over their external surfaces. Application of LTF in ballistic protection clothing offers wide opportunities because of lesser costs and ability to resist the penetration of humidity, which may substantially decrease the ballistic strength of the structure. In this work finite element models of a NCF laminate are proposed at mezzo-mechanical level, which presents the components of LTF as a structure of orthotropic shell elements. The ballistic response of the fabric against deformable 6 and 9mm bullets has been investigated.
