Abstract
In this article, the new model of dynamic puncture behaviors of intra-/inter- reinforced compound fabrics which are fabricated by nonwovens and reinforced fabrics using needle-punching and thermal bonding technique is constructed by the maximum deformation and stress-wave transmission theory. Moreover, the number of layers for E1 puncture protection is optimized based on numerical analysis of penetration depth. Dynamic puncture model shows that the dynamic puncture resistance depends on elastic modulus of reinforced fabrics, deformation radius and thickness of compound fabrics. The maximum puncture resistance and penetration depth both have parabola relations to number of layers. This study provides the accurate prediction model of puncture force and safety layers for designing puncture-resisting body armor in the future.
