Finite Element Simulations of Ballistic Impact on Glass Fiber Composite

Abstract

Conventional layup technique is used for manufacturing laminated polymer composite. By using this technique composite structures are prone to edge delamination. Wrap around technique is used for suppressing edge lamination problems. By using this technique composite properties will increase and delamination can be minimized. This results in increased life for the composite. Impact analysis is conducted on Glass Fiber composite under three different velocity on wrap around composites. From the results check whether the glass fiber composite can withstand at applied velocities. According to the analysis results implement glass fiber in the manufacturing of body armors
