Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites as Bulletproof Panel Materials
View through CrossRef
The panel attached in bulletproof vests must fulfill the standard of NIJ 0101.06. It must resist the penetration of the bullet and has a back-face signature that does not exceed 44 mm by ballistic testing. This research included both numerical simulation and ballistic tests for validation using type IV ballistic bullet. This research involved composite epoxy-HGM-hemp (Boehmeria Nivea) and epoxy-HGM-sisal (Agave Sisalana) as bulletproof panel materials with their woven-thickness characteristic. The properties of materials are obtained by performing ASTM D3039 test. As a result, by varying the thickness or each amount of layer, the thinnest panel of each material that fulfills the standard of NIJ 0101.06 is obtained.
