The early impact behaviour of single and multi-ply Kevlar s 129 fabric armour systems is investigated using an explicit finite element code, TEXIM, developed in-house. This numerical model is carefully validated using continuous temporal data obtained from an instrumented experimental setup. The mod

This paper investigates the finite-element simulation of ballistic impact on Twaron s fabric through proposing a material model, which incorporates viscoelasticity and a strain-rate-sensitive failure criterion. A non-linear, explicit, three-dimensional finite-element code DYNA3D is used to simulate
## Abstract A computational microβmechanical material model of loosely woven fabric for nonβlinear finite element impact simulations is presented in this work. The model is a mechanism incorporating the crimping of the fibres as well as the trellizing. The equilibrium of the mechanism allows the st
