Abstract
The projectile nose angle is one of the parameters having a great influence on impact and penetration into high strength fabric. In order to study these effects, a realistic finite element model of TWARON fabric at yarn level is generated with eight node solid elements. LS-DYNA, a commercial finite element code is chosen as the solver. Projectile is assumed to be rigid in the simulations. The yarns, as major load carrying component of the...
