Deformation of Ballistic Protection Vest Panel

This article deals with an analysis of the resistance against projectile penetration and bending of ballistic protection vest made of a ballistic textile. A mechanical model of the core of ballistic protection vest is designed, theoretically solved, and experimentally verified. The stiffness characteristics of the ballistic protection vest core were obtained from the technical test utilising a free fall weight. These characteristics allow a prediction of a chosen small calibre projectile movement in the same material during a firing experiment. The shape deformation of ballistic protection vest core layers is analytically expressed by their bending in the direction of the projectile movement.
