Design Drivers
Ballistic energy absorbing fracture mechanisms may be combined within same armor systems to meet requirements of different threats.
This combination is based on:
W i ht li it tiWeight limitation
Space constraints
Structural roleStructural role
Environment (moisture,FST)
Type of projectile(s)Type of projectile(s)
Need for single shot or multi-hit capability
And usually leads to armor systems which are based on

y ymultimaterials, multilayer arrangements, each providing a specific functionality.
Maximize energy absorption in composite integral armor while maintaining structural propertieswhile maintaining structural properties
• Potential mechanisms in composite layer– Delamination– Fiber and resin fracture/deformationFiber and resin fracture/deformation– Fabric deformation effects– Fiber-matrix interphase damage
F i ti l ff t i t l i fib t i– Frictional effects – interlaminar, fiber-matrix, etc.

• The strength of ShieldStrand® provides structure as well as protection, allowing armor to be integrated into the vehicle structure, reducing overall vehicle weight
Shi ldSt d® b ld d i t l l• ShieldStrand® can be molded into large complex-shaped structural parts using proven large scale composite manufacturing technologies.
• ShieldStrand® has been tested in combination with a steel or ceramic strike face to provide
t ti h i i d lti hit

protection when armor piercing and multi hit capability is required or an overmatched threat exists.
ShieldStrand® Armor Solutions for Blast and Multi-hit Fragmentation Performanceand Multi hit Fragmentation Performance
• Offers good performance in blast – structurally d ith i i l l b l d fl tigood with minimal global deflection
• Local Deflection with Large Fragments
• FR Vinylester ShieldStrand V-hull passed blast & full scale diesel fuel fire test
• Minimal secondary behind armor effects V hull• Minimal secondary behind armor effects – V-hull vents Blast, Composite stops fragmentation, while structure absorbs Blast energy and dissipates shockdissipates shock.
