The impact of the coupling relationship between projectile size and yarn dimension on the ballistic performance of plain weave fabric by Kaiying Wang, Xuan Zhou, Wenke Ren, Yiding Wu, Yilei Yu, Yi Zhou, Lizhi Xu, Guangfa Gao

“…The influence law of projectile size on the ballistic performance of high-performance fabrics is as follows: The relative range of fitted ballistic limit velocity at different target positions gradually decreases and then stabilizes as the projectile diameter increases, indicating that the fabric structure effect gradually disappears at a projectile diameter of 12 mm; The average ballistic limit velocity at three impact positions, P1, P2, and P3, provides the corresponding ballistic limit velocity for 1000D aramid fabric, which increases with projectile diameter but the rate of increase slows down at an inflection point, which in this study occurs where the fabric structure effect nearly disappears at a projectile diameter of 12 mm; The energy absorption ratio increases and then decreases as the projectile diameter increases from 4 mm to 20 mm, reaching a peak at the diameter of 12 mm due to the gradual disappearance of the fabric structural effect. …”
