Identification of composite materials at high speed deformation with the use of degenerated model

AbstrAct Purpose: Composite materials on account of some their characteristics have application in a construction of ballistic shield. An example of the ballistic shield is laminate with the mix-structure materials such as layer pressed of aramid cloths on matrix polymer. Because of the shield’s assignment the aramid cloths are exposed to impact loads caused by an energy made by impact force of cumulated mass (bullet). Previous analyses of the effect are based on linear-elastic reaction of resisting forces between the materials of a bullet and a shield. The article exemplifies the procedure of mechanical properties analysis in the punch effect of the ballistic shield with the use of some of the non-elastic models. Design/methodology/approach: In the article the theoretical analysis of punch effect in the quasi-static load condition based on some of the degenerated models is also presented. Findings: The results of the analysis make aware of demand for designing safety ballistic shields.
