Modeling and Analysis of Composite Bullet-Resistant Jacket

Armor industries are striving for the better safe body vests having a high-impact energy-absorbing capacity. CAD and CAE tools like SolidWorks and FEA code ANSYS provide us approximate solution in order to giving us the better knowledge for improving the bullet-resistant capability of vest. This work attempts to compare and analyses of mostly used material for bulletproof vest, i.e., kevlar, carbon-epoxy, and spectra. The 14 combinations of these fiber materials were analyzed using design and analysis tools. The spectra-carbon/epoxy-kevlar-spectra-kevlar (SEKSK) is the best option for the vests showing superior results comparing with other combinations. At the point when a bullet projectile strikes body shield, it transmits its energy until such time as the bullet has been stopped. The best arrangement of the fiber’s cloth is identified in the vest based on using total deformation, Von Mises stress results, when it is subjected to a.220 Swift bullet impact. This study provides the important information for researchers and industries for development of better-quality bullet-resistant vest by utilizing superior combination of different fiber cloth.
