Effect of Resin Content on the Mechanical and Ballistic Performance of B4C/Aramid III/UHMWPE Ceramic Composite Armor with Comparative Evaluation of Fiber Architecture and Manufacturing Process
This study investigates the effects of resin content, fiber architecture, and manufacturing process on the mechanical response and ballistic behavior of Aramid III/epoxy support layers used in B4C ceramic composite armor. Three plain-woven Aramid III/epoxy laminates containing 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 38 wt% resin were fabr...
