Effects of spacing and ply blocking on the ballistic resistance of UHMWPE laminates
2021, International Journal of Impact EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Some commercial gel-spun fibers/tapes are Honeywell Spectra® (900,1000,3000, WO2011/1137045) and DSM Dyneema® (SK75, SK76) [9]. Examples of solid-state extrusion tapes are Teijin Endumax® [10], Armour Holdings Tensylon® HT, BAE Systems Tensylon® HS and Dupond TensylonTM HM [11]. The solid-state tape has inherently lower strength than the gel-spun fiber/tape due to its grain boundaries.
The effect of in-plane shear properties on the ballistic performance of polyethylene composites
2020, International Journal of Impact EngineeringCitation Excerpt :To test the hypothesis that back face deformation is influenced by the in-plane shear properties of a material, HB 210 and HB 212 were shot at 220 m/s alongside the Tensylon 30A material. Tensylon 30A features an in-plane shear stiffness 20 times higher than fiber UHMWPE materials [20] and higher flow stress (as shown in Figure 16), but a significantly lower modulus and strength in the principal directions [20], giving a lower limit velocity [7] (and thus, the reduced test velocity). As expected, the Tensylon demonstrates significantly lower BFD and the correspondingly smaller shear strains (as shown in Figure 17c and f) when compared to both fiber reinforced systems (Fig. 17a, b, d, e), whose trend continues at the reduced velocity.
