PENE-TRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE STRUCTURES

I. BALLISTICS OF TRANSVERSELY IMPACTED FIBERS*

Introduction

Although impact of single fibers or fiber assem-

blies is an important subject in its own right, being

relevant to climbing ropes, aircraft carrier arrest

cables, high-speed weaving, etc., the principal develop-

ments in this area have been made by workers whose

major interests have been in the impact resistance of

woven or non-woven textile structures. The most notable

of these structures have been the lightweight armor vests

used by police and military personnel, but among other

important applications can be listed aircraft engine

containment shrouds, flak blankets, and vehicle seat

belts. Ballistic nylon has been used successfully for

these vests since the Second World War, although

current developments have emphasized the du Pont aramid

fiber marketed as Kevlar**. Although, as will be shown

below, excellent single-fiber ballistic response does

not necessarily guarantee a superior vest, any under-

standing of textile structure ballistics must be pre-

ceeded by an understanding of single-fiber response.

A strong motive for discussing fibers is that

single fiber tests are often used as screening tests

for ballistic protection materials. As an example,

one often encounters tabulations of "transverse

critical velocity", that ballistic velocity at which

a transversely impacted yarn experiences nearly

instantaneous failure. Typical data is shown below.

Such tests are often indicative of relative

ballistic resistance, but perfect correlations cannot

be guaranteed. In the above tabulation Kevlar 29 proves

to be the best ballistic material when put into a panel,

in spite of its having a lower transverse critical

Longitudinal Wave Propagation

Wave propagation phenomena in fibers and thin

rods are considerably less complicated than in a

general medium, since the possibility of unrestrained

transverse contraction in fibers eliminates (to a

good approximation) the simultaneous propagation

of independent dilatational and distortional waves

which are present in general. The equation of motion

for fibers or rods is simply [3]:

E. )27 (1)

where u is the longitudinal particle displacement,

is the material density, E is the longitudinal Young's

Smodulus, and x and t are the space and time coordinates.

This is the well-known wave equation, whose solution

represents a disturbance traveling at a velocity

Conventional textile units employing stiffness per unit

linear density are very convenient in wave propagation

analyses, since the factor P is included implicitly

in the modulus. For modulus expressed in grams per A

denier and wavespeed in meters per second, Equation 3

becomes: A

(3)

where k = 88,260 is the necessary units-conversion

factor. In these equations, as well as those to

follow, the modulus is taken to be the "dynamic"

stiffness relevant to the high strain rates corres-

ponding to wave propagation tests. The development- of

such dynamic constitutive relations from experimentalfiber-impact data has been described elsewhere (4,5].

The above relations have assumed a linear

S~elastic material whose stiffness E is independent of

-the strain. In this case the wavefront will propagate

as a sharp discontinuity (a shock wave) at which the

strain rises instantaneously from zero to the value

given by Equation 4. Many ballistic fibers are

nonlinear, however, and the effect of material non-

linearity leads to some complication of the above

description. A nonlinear fiber can be characterized

as having a strain-dependent modulus E = E( r ),so

that Equation 3 becomes:

2C_ cc=, CG' (6)

Page 17: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

The shape of the wavefront is now dependent on the

shape of the dynamic stress-strain curve. If the curve

is concave toward the strain axis, so that the modulus

decreases monotonically with strain, each suceeding

increment of strain in the propagating wave travels

more slowly than the previous increment. The wave is

then dispersive, and broadens as it travels. If on

the other hand portions of the stress-strain curve

are away from the strain axis, then portions of the

strain wave will overtake more slowly propagating

increments of lesser strain, and the wave will contain

shock components. In general, a wave may contain both

dispersive and shock components.

In the region behind the wave, material flows in

the direction of the imposed velocity with a "particle

velocity" w. This motion is fed by the strain

developed in the propagating wave, and the particle

velocity is related to the wave to the wave speed by:

The strain C developed by longitudinal impact is

found by solving Equation 8, perhaps numerically.

Transverse Impact of Fibers

As the transverse impact of fibers seems intuitive-

ly germane to impact of woven textile panels, the

technical community interested in lightweight ballistic

protection has devoted intensive effort to this problem A

since World War II. Following the pioneering works of

Taylor [6] and von Karman [7] during the war, valuable

contributions have been made by Peterson et al. [8],

Shultz et al. [9], Wilde et al. [5], among others, but

by far the most prolific of these efforts has been

that of Jack C. Smith and his colleages at the National

Bureau of Standards. Reference [10] provides a review

of most of this work, which contains a wealth of

The rate-independent theory of transverse fiber

, impact as developed by Smith can be stated with refer-

ence to Figure 1. This illustrates a fiber, originally

straight in the horizontal direction, which has been

impacted by a projectile traveling vertically upward.

Upon impact, longitudinal waves of the type described

in the previous section are propagated outward from the

point of impact. Behind these waves material flows

inward toward the point of impact at a constant

velocity w, strain Co, and stress In

addition to the longitudinal waves, transverse "kink"13 waves are also propagated outward from the impact point.

At the transverse wavefront the inward material flow

ceases abruptly and is replaced by a transverse

particle velocity equal in magnitude and direction to

that of the projectile. The strain and tension are un-

changed across the transverse wavefront, but both the

Jlongituidinal and transverse particle velocities ex-

perience discontinuities there; in this sense the trans-

verse wave is a geometrical shock. The apprently un-

balanced tensions on either side of the transverse

wavefront are compensated by the change in particle

momentum as the wave propagates. Behind the trans-

verse wavefront all particle velbcities are equal in

magnitude and direction to the projectile velocity,

and the fiber configuration is a straight line at a

constant inclination 0 from the longitudinal direction.

The inward particle velocity is found, as in the

I longitudinal case, as

The final strain 0 is unknown as yet, but E( E )

is known as the slope of the dynamic stress-strain

curve. The outward velocity U of the transverse kink

wave, measured relative to a Lagrangian frame attached

to and extending with the fiber, is:

To a fixed observer the transverse wave appears to

propagate in a "laboratory" frame of reference at

Vb(

Finally, the above variables are related to the impact

velocity V through the relation:

V0+. z -~

Equations 9-12 constitute four relations between, V,

w, e 0' O-0, U, and U. The material dynamic stress-

strain curve relates and £0' so that once one

of the parameters (say V) is specified, the other four

independent parameters (w, e 0' U, U) can be found.

For nornlinear stress-strain curves, numerical solu-

tions will likely be more convenient.

Certain limitations to the Smith analysis

described above must be mentioned. First, it is

18M i

Page 22: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

rate-independent. Most polymeric fibers exhibit

strong rate dependencies, and these effects are beyond

the capacity of this analysis to describe. Perhaps

a more severe limitation is that the Smith analysis is

not applicable to late-time effects in the wave propa-

gation process. In real situations the outgoing

longitudinal wave soon collides with an obstacle: a

clamp, in the case of single-fiber tests, or a fiber

crossover, in the case of impact in woven textile

panels. Upon such a collision a reflected wave is

propagated from the collision point in the direction

opposite that of the original wave. This reflected

wave in turn soon collides with the outward-traveling

transverse wave, and this collision generates another

two waves which travel away from the collision point. IN

These waves in turn eventually collide with the clamps, :q

or the projectile, or other waves. The result of

-1hese wave reflections and interactions is a situation

which becomes intractable by closed-form mathematical

methods, and this late-time intractability is a

principal reason for the development of numerical

computer solutions.

Use of the Rate-Independent Theory in Preliminary Design

In spite of the limitations of the Smith theory

outlined above, the rate-independent analysis provides

19

Page 23: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

a highly useful means of assessing approximate relations

between fiber material properties and ballistic

response. These relations are of considerable -value

in performing preliminary design steps in development

of textile ballistic-protection devices.

Assuming the material to be linear in stress-

strain response (E = constant), the Smith analysis can

be cast in the simple form:

V ec)~ 'cj+6)-E~ (13)

which provides a relation for the strain 4E developed

by impact at a velocity V in terms of the fiber modulus.

The relation can be solved numerically if one wishes to

compute E 0 for a given V, or it can be used directly

to plot CO versus V for the purpose of developing

design curves (see Fig. 2). Once C 0 is known, then

or U, U, and w can be found from either the stress-

strain relation or Equations 9 - 12. Figure 3 shows

such a plot of tension sr0o versus Vwith modulus as a

parameter.

Since the above curves rise monotonically with

velocity, one can observe the influence of modulus more

easily by plotting ballistic response at a constant

velocity, and Figure A shows such a plot at V = 400

m/sec. Here are plotted the strain and tension from

the above methods, along with the strain energy

(The term, 9c,is shown in mixed units, but it could

be converted to joules/sec once the density and denier

of the fiber are specified.) The rate of energy

absorption at the wavefront must equal the rate at

which the fiber extracts kinetic energy from the

projectile, and it is a reasonable measure of ballistic

efficiency. Note that this energy absorption rate

rises monotonically with fiber modulus, although with

less dramatic improvements after approximately 500 g/den.

indefinitely by continuing to seek stiffer fibers. In

general, increases in stiffeness are accompanied by de-

S~beneficial reduction in impact-generated strain shown in

Figure 2. This effect m~ay be quantified by means of

Equation 13, where one may calculate the critical trans- Iverse velocity by determining the velocity which just

knows the variation of breaking strain with stiffness,

these calculations may be used to select approximately

an optimum fiber stiffness for ballistic efficiency.

This process is carried through for illustrative pur-

poses in Figure 5.

drawing treatments by the manufacturer [5]. The solid

line is the the calculated transverse critical

velocity, considering the effect of stiffness on both

impact-induced strain and on breaking strain. An

optimum is observed near 60 g/den, which is in fair

agreement with experimental observation. All this is

a quantification of the often-quoted guideline in armor

design that one seeks the highest possible modulus in

order to spread the impact over a wide area via in-

creased wavespeed, but that the process must not be

carried so far as to induce excessive brittleness. In

hard armor this reasoning has led to the use of

ceramic faceplates to give high wavespeed, backed by

a fiberglass laminate to provide the needed toughness.

Selection of a Failure CriterionI4

The use of simple ultimate breaking strain as a

failure criterion in the above example is overly

simplistic, since it does not incorporate the strong

temperature and rate dependencies that are known to

exist in polymeric material. A versatile fracture model

4 which does incorporate these dependencies and is still

computationally convenient is that due to Zhurkov f1i],

which states that the lifetime t of a solid subjected

As a more direct example of the utilization of

Zhurkov's model in fiber ballistics, the stress pre-

dicted by the Smith theory for a given impact velocity

and fiber modulus can be used in Equation 14 to pre-

dict the time after impact at which the fiber will

rupture. This analysis predicts t:hat there is no

unique critical transverse velocity, but rather a

range of velocities over which the fiber will fail in

experimentally observable times. Figure 7 shows the

4 predicted results for drawn nylon fibers, using an

assumed dynamic modulus of 80 g/den with the same

values of 6L and used in Figure 6. This figura

shows that at velocities above approximately 775 m/sec,

rupture occurs in less than fifty microseconds and

would be counted in most high-speed photographic

records as having occurred instantaneously upon impact.

The times-to-break become exponentially longer at

lower velocities, and failure will occur at the clamp

due to wave reflection at times dependent on the

wavespeed and fiber length. This variation in what

may be termed critical velocity for impact may make up

a large part afthe scatter observed experimentally in

determining critical transverse velocities.

An important advantage to Zhurkov's model is that

it is derivable in terms of basic reaction-rate

fracture analysis. As such, it provides a means

whereby the materials scientist can predict materials

and processing modifications so as to manipulate the

fracture parameters and improve ballistic performance.

A recent review [12] describes the basic implications

of reaction rate models such as Zhurkov's, as well as

their limitations and experimental corroboration.

The development of these models is somewhat controver-

sial, with several quite divergent approaches having

strong advocates. Zhurkov's model in particular is

often criticized as being simplistic, but is convenient

for use in impact by virtue of its computational con-

venience and its ability to model a wide range of

materials behavior, if only phenomenologically. Finally,

it should be cautioned that the experiments Zhurkov used

in corroborating his model were no faster than the milli-

second time scale, some three orders of magnitude

slower than ballistic impact fractures. Such an extra-

polation is cleariy dangerous and should be verified by

additional experimentation. The plot given in Figure

7 is in reasonable but not excellent agreement with

experimental data given in Smith's papers, indicating

that the approach is promising but needing of further

corroboration.

The method of analysis used in this study is a3

direct numerical approach which attacks the governing

dynamic equations of the problem through a computer-

aided iterative scheme. It may be considered as a

hybrid of the finite element method in selecting

control volumes and the finite difference in establish- Al

The fabric of dimension L by L shown in Figure 8

is modeled as a network of interconnected fiber

elements impacted at zero obliquity by a rigid missile

of mass.M with an initial striking velocity V . The

network model rather than a continuous membrane is

employed here, for it is not only more consistent

with the discrete fabric structure but also leads to

better agreement with the physical deformation con-

figuration (pyramidal cone rather than hemisphere) as

observed by Wilde (131 in high speed photographs.

The elastic continuum supporting the fabric deformation

is generally very flexible in transverse direction:

bending effects are neglected. The constituent fibers

are considered to have a slender and uniform cross

section that only plane waves propagate uniaxially.

Furthermore, crossovers are modeled as hinged connec-

tions; then, slippage is assumed to be negligible.

along the diagonal until reaching the end of the

octant. For reasons of stability, the rate at which

the code progresses outward from the impact point is

related to the fabric wavespeed; these stability con-

siderations will be discussed in a later section.

Solution Stability, Convergence and Accuracy

Solution stability and convergence are directly

related to the theory of characteristics for the hyper-

bolic system. The Von Neumann stability criterion [141

for the probem may be written as

where cr is the wave velocity in the fabric. Hence

the selection of &t and &X cannot be arbitrary.

r3

Page 43: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

The value of cr is not known prior to the analysis, but

a preliminary study by Roylance [15] indicates that it

is a fixed fraction of the wave velocity ir a single

C - (34)

where a is a numerical factor. It generally haE

value greater than unity, which may be attributed Lo

the effective increase on lineal density caused by

fiber crossovers. in a square-woven fabric, the lineal

density of a fiber along which a wave is propagating

is effectively doubled. This retards the wave velocity

according to Equation 2 by a factor of 4C = -F2. The

stability condition is then of the form

considerations; therefore &t is constrained by Equation

In the absence of a complete theory for finding

the exact value of this parameter, it is a common

practice in the use of numerical methods to have the

computer determine it. The optimum R may be obtained

by changing its value continuously in test cases until

a known solution is matched and a variation of the

quantity will not yield any appreciable difference in

the results. Unfortunately, there is no existing solu-

tion for this problem and one must resort to numerical

tests of smoothness or of conservation laws for this

purpose. A convenient measurement of stability and

convergence is to study the rate of energy conserva-

tion of the system. In this study, an energy discrep-

ancy parameter Y is introduced for the purpose, and is

defined as

where Ef is the total energy absorption by the fabric,

and E is the projectile energy loss defined previously.p

Figures 11 and 12 give illustrations of the dependence

of solution stability and convergence on the values of

parameter. An optimum value =f-2 is obtained

from these results, in agreement with physical reasoning. I-•

and observed results is important, since it provides

some assurance that both the transient response and

the final fracture processes are being modeled reason-

:• ably. It might also be mentioned that this particular

plot is one which plays an important role in the design

process, so that the ability to generate it numerically

without prior ballistic data or any idealizing assump-

tions is of considerable practical importance.

Another result of the numerical calculations which

may be checked against experiment has to do with the

shape of the transverse deformation cone, since the

cone may be followed by high-speed photography during

the impact event. It should be mentioned that this

photgraphic evidence provided the initial impetus to

the development of the present pin-jointed fiber

model, as opposed to various membrane approaches which

have been attempted in the past. The photographs

clearly show a pyramidal defomnation cone which re-

flects the orthogonal nature of the woven structure, as

opposed to the circular cones which would be predicted

by axy-symmetric membrane analyses. The present

numerical treatment predicts this pyramidal shape

correctly. A convenient indicator of deformation is

the size of the cone at the time of projectile

penetration, as this parame- !r also reflects both tran-

sient and fracture properties of the panel. Figure 14

shows the predicted and observed cone size at penetra-

tion for a Kevlar panel, and again it is seen that

agreement is satisfactory.

Parametric Materials Study

The utility of the numerical model will be

illustrated by means of a number of computer experiments

in which the influence of fabric materials properties

* ion ballistic resistance is assessed. These results help

validate the reliability of the model in that it can

be shown to generate data in agreement with experimental

observations. It also provides a means of illustrating

certain phenomena, such as transient wave propagation,

which are not generally observable experimentally; in

this regard one's intuitive understanding of the impact

even is improved considerably.

Numerical results have been obtained for a

series of four simulated orthogonally-woven square

panels 203 mm on a side, impacted at zero obliquity by

a 0.22-caliber projectile weighing 1.10 gram. Such a

projectile is commonly used in experimental work to

simulate the effect of fragment impact. The edges of

the panels were assumed to'be clamped, although penetra-

tion generally occurred before the arrival of stress

waves at the clamps; the nature of the edge boundary

conditions is therefore relatively unimportant. Rather

than perform straightforward parametric tests in which

one variable, such as fiber modulus, is varied while

others are held constant, it was decided to simulate

147

I ns"2fý

Page 51: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

a series of actual fabrics for which input data was

available either from the weaver or from laboratory

measurement. The computer results can thus be compared

directly with laboratory ballistic tests, although in

general, more than one variable is changed in each

simulation. In particular, the fabric panel weight

varies slightly for each material type, although this

effect was expected to be small relative to the large

change resulting from the markedly different fiber

moduli.

For the purpose of these parametric tests, only

very simple constitutive and fracture models were

employed. Although more realistic models are available

as described elsewhere in this report, the numerical

data necessary for input into these models are generally

not available. For this reason the fiber stiffness was

set to a constant value obtained from handbook quasi-

static stress-strain data, and the failure criterion

was a simple maximum-breaking-strain check, where the

maximum allowed was also taken from quasistatic tensile

test results. In spite of these questionable choices,

the results of the computer simulations are of con-

siderable interest.

The data for the four fabric types are shown

below:

Figure 15 shows typical computer predictions of

strain wave profiles obtained at various times after a

400 m/sec impact on the various fabrics. Unlike impact

on a single fiber, in which a constant level of strain

is propagated outward from the impact point, the

array of fiber crossover junctions around the impact

point in a fabric serves to reflect a portion of the

outward-propalating wave back toward the impact point.

As a result, the strain is always greatest at the point

of impact, and grows continuously with time (unless

the projectile is slowed appreciably by the panel).

are governed by the fiber modulus and density. As

shown in the figure, graphite fibers have the highest

modulus of the four materials, and thus propagate the

lowest level of strain at the highest rate. As the

modulus is decreased, the strain level is increased and

the wavespeed is decreased.

The strain history in the fabric is directly

related to missile striking velocity as indicated in

Figure 16. When the velocity is greater than a

critical impact velocity Vcr, strain at the impact point

continuously rises until penetration, duo; to the- con-

tinual arrival of wavelets reflected from crossovers

and boundaries. In contrast, if the -elocity is

smaller than Vr, the impact strain develops to a

level below the breaking strain and remains relatively

constant for the rest of the dynamic process. Here

the effect of unloading due to projectile deceleration

is able to balance the increase of strain due to wave

reflection. The wavy strain history in the figure may

be caused by the dispersion and interaction of the

traveling and reflected wavelets, and perhaps, some

numerical fluctuation.

and Figure 19 illustrates the relative energy absorp-

It is seen that the high fiber modulus of the

graphite panel leads to a rapid rate of energy absorp-

tion, but that fracture occurs before the panel has

been able to extract as much of the projectile's

impact energy as the lower-modulus fabrics. Conversely,

nylon requires a long time to penetration, but the

energy absorption rate is too slow to lead to a large

total energy absorption. The Kevlar 29 panel exhibits

the best combination of energy absorption rate and

long time to penetration, and is thus predicted to be

the superior ballistic material of the four types

studied.

_____ I

It should be mentioned that the accuracy of these

results is limited by the questionable assumptions

which had to be made due to the present lack of know-

ledge as to dynamic fiber properties which could be used

as input data for the code. For these rather stiff

fibers, the use of a linear elastic constitutive law

is probably not a serious error; however, the use of

maximum-breaking-strain failure critrion is almost

certainly to blame for some inconsistencies in the

results. In particular, Kevlar 49 is known to be

essentially as good as, if not superior to Kevlar 29

as a ballistic material. The authors feel the shape

of the energy absorption curves in Figure 19 is

accurate, but that the location of the failure point

is poor in the case of Kevlar 49. This points out the

need for more complete dynamic fracture data on these

fibers, so that more realistic models such as that

described by Equation 17 may be employed.

It is natural to seek some simple relationship

between fiber material properties and fabric ballistic

resistance. The preceeding results lead one to expect

that the most important parameter governing the stress

history in the fabric before fracture isthe fiber

modulus. The modulus controls wavespeed through the

relation c= /-E, and thus the distance the impact dis-

modulus also controls the level of strain which will be

generated by impact at a given velocity. The relation

is not known explicitly for fabrics, but can be deter-

mined by performing computer experiments using the

numerical code.

Figure 20 depicts the computed strain history at A

the point of impact for 400 m/sec impacts upon the four

model fabrics. It is clearly seen that an increase in

fiber modulus decreases the strain for a given time, in

correlation with the same result for single fibers.

The fabric impact is considerably more complex than

single-fiber impact, however; the point of impact feels

iot only the continuing influence of the projectile,

but is also continually bombarded by wavelets reflected

and diverted from adjacent fiber crossovers. The

situation is too complex to permit simple generaliza- A,

tions, but the nonlinear form of the strain histories

for the various fabrics can be taken to reflect the

influence of wave interactions occurring in a region

whose size increases quadratically with •ime. Note

also that the shape of the strain histories varies

consistently with fiber modulus: the time for arrival

of the first peak, for instance, decreases monotonically

with modulus.

Figure 20. Development of strain at the point of impact in thevarious fabric types after a 400 m/sec impact.

If one normalizes the magnitudes of the ordinal

values in Figure 20 by the value of strain which would

be developed in a single fiber by transverse impact at

the same projectile velocity, the strain magnitudes of

the four curves achieve comparable values. This pro-

cedure essentially compensates the curves for the

effect of the fiber modulus on the impact-induced strain.

58

Page 62: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

The shift of the curves along the abscissa, however,

is less clear. The rate at which the strain increases

at the impact point is governed by the complex inter-

actions of waves traveling about within the constantly

expanding region of influence, and is beyond simple

visualization. On average, the time necessary for a

wave to reflect and return eventually to the impact

point should decrease inversely with the wavespeed,

i.e. inversely with the root of the modulus. However,

the size of the region in which stress waves are

traveling at any given time also depends on the wave-

speed, and one would expect that a larger region of

influence would decrease the rate at which reflected

and diverted wavelets are able to return to the impact

point.

It is found that the time after impact at which

the first peak in the strain occurs varies linearly,

with good correlation, with the fourth root of the

fiber modulus (or the square root of the wavespeed).

Using this observation, which is likely related to the

geometry of the region of influence, one can compensate

the abscissal values of Figure 20 by the factor E0 .25

The result of the ordinal and abtcissal normalization

is shown in Figure 21, where a curve valid for all four

fabrics is developed.

This master curve represents an improved means

of performing preliminary armor design. Since the

normalizing factors are known once the dynamic modulus

of the fiber is specified, one can generate a strain

vs. time curve from Figure 21 applicable for a particu-

the fiber's dynamic breaking strain. As in the fiber

case, we then see that ballistic resistance is a

balance between high fiber modulus leading to high

wavespeeds and lower strains, and fiber breaking strain.

This approach is approximate in severa± respects,

however, and is thus limited to preliminary design.

First, it is seen in Figure 21 that perfect correlation

among all four test fabrics is not attained, the nylon

showing a deviation at high strain. Similar deviations

in other fabrics might be observed as well. Second,

the curve of Figure 21 was generated from computer

experiments at relatively high velocity, so that pro-

jectile slowdown was not an appreciable factor. At

low impact velocities, the fabric is able to decelerate

the projectile and even bring it to rest. The effect of

projectile slowdown is to generate unloading waves in

the fabric which travel simultaneously with those

previously described. This unloading would have a

strong influence on the curves such as that in Figure

21, causing the curve to pass through a maximum and

decrease thereafter in those cases in which the fabric

is able to defeat the projectile. For these cases,

complete treatment using the numerical code would be

necessary.

III. EFFECT OF VISCOELASTIC MATERIALS RESPONSE

Viscoelastic Constitutive Relations

In the course of the iterative calculations

described earlier, a constitutive material law must

be evoked at each element in order to compute the

element tension from its strain (or strain history).

One would expect that a model incorporating viscoelastic

effects would be necessary for proper simulation of

polymeric materials, and in fact there is considerable

direct evidence [16] that relaxation does indeed occur

in the ballistic time frame. This is also to be

expected in light of the dynamic mechanical spectrum of

nylon, for instance, in which a beta relaxation is

observed having an apparent activation energy of

approximately 60 kJ/mole [17]; this relaxation iscalculated to occur in approximately five microseconds

at room temperature.

_scale comparable to the ballistic event, which takes

place on a microsecond time scale. It is of course

difficult to conduct such conventional tests as creep

or stress relaxation on this time scale, but guidance

as to proper model parameter selection can be obtained

from dynamic mechanicai spectra, using the activation

energies of the appropriate low-temperature relaxations

to effect a temperature-rate conversion. For nylon

fibers, for instance, one would fit the Wiechert mo&el

to the beta relaxation, ignoring the alpha and gamma

relaxations as not being appropriate to the ballistic

time scale at room temperature.

Results for Single Fibers

As a means of developing a proper context for

the study of viscoelastic response of a woven textile

panel, some results obtained in an earlier study [18]

which used a direct numerical simulation of visco-elastic relaxation in a transversely impacted single

fiber will be reviewed briefly. The numerical approach

for this study was identical to that described for

fabric structures, except that it considered a single

fiber discretized as a series-connected assemblage of

pin-jointed finite elements. As in the fabric case,

this treatment produced numerical values for the

position, veloci y, strain, and tension of each finite

element of fiber as a function of time after impact.

A variation of this treatment will be described in some

detail in Chapter IV of this report.

Figures 23 and 24 show the distribution of

nondimensionalized strain and tension along the fiber

at various times after impact, plotted against the

Lagrangian fiber coordinate. These distributions were

obtained from the Wiechert model using only a singles sring-dashpot arm in parallel with the equilibrium

si;h •hree-element model is commonly known as

the "standard linear solid", or the "Zener solid" The

distributions for these two figures are for a choice

of model parameters ke = 80 gm/den, k1 = 20 gm/den,,

and c1 50 /4sec. The values of the ordinates

have been normalized by the strain or tension which

the rate-independent Smith theory predicts for a linear

elastic material at the same impact velocity.

several features typical Of viscoelastic wave propaga-

method of characteristics to show that the wavefront

attenuation is given by:

where k kl/(k1 + ke) is the relative strength of

the viscoelastic relaxation. The wavefront tension

magnitude predicted by Equation 41 is shown in Figure 4,

25, which also serves to illustrate the numerical

accuracy of the direct analysis. (Here a 0.15 m

•?• •fiber was divided into 200 finite elements). Some

numerical overshoot is evident at the discontinuous

wavefront, but the distribution extrapolates to the

analytically-predicted value.

By means of Laplace transforms, Smith [201 also

obtained approximate expressions for the strain and

tension distributions in a longitudinally impacted

fiber. These expressions predict that the tension andstrain at the point of impact will approach the

limiting values

stress relaxation is slightly less and creep slightly

work on transverse impact.

Results for Woven Panels

The three-element Wiechert model (the standard

linear solid) used in the previous section was also

employed to examine the influence of viscoelasticrelaxation during ballistic impact of woven panels.

The model parameters were chosen to simulate ballistic

nylon: kI =20 gm/den, ke =80 gm/den, It 5 Asec.

Results have been obtained for a simulated 0.2 m x 0.2--m

panel weighing 19.5 gm, impacted with a 0.22-caliber

fragment simulating projectile weighing 1.10 gms at

various impact velocities.

Figure 26 shows the distribution of stress along

the orthogonal fibers running through the point of

impact at t = 30.4 a-sec after an impact at Vp = 300

m/sec. The results for the viscoelastic fabzic are

compared with those of an ideally elastic fabric

having a stiffness equal to that of the unrelaxed

viscoelastic material (100 gm/den). The nonuniform

distributions along the fiber are due as described

earlier to the continual reflection of wave components

from fiber crossovers, resulting in a maximum in stress

at the impact point. An appreciable difference in

stress levels between the linear elastic and Visco-

elastic cases is observed, especially near the wave-

front. Relaxation of the stress due to the rate-

dependent material behavior may be expressed by the

ratio of the viscoelastic and the elastic and the

elastic stress, T/TO, as shown in the figure. It is0

found that a large amount of relaxation occurs near

the wave front while an equlibrium state of relaxation

is reached in the region away from the disturbance front.

The stress and strain histories at the point of

flection of wavelets from crossovers; however, stress

relaxation and strain creep of the viscoelastic material

occur simultaneously with this general increase. The

viscoelastic stress at a given time is smaller than the

Nonlinear Viscoelastic ResponseF •The use of the Wiechert model as described in

the previous sections is sufficient to illustrate the

most important features of rate-dependent ballistic

materials. Howevermost materials do not meet the

rigid requirements of linearity necessary for a truly

rigorous application of concepts of linear viscoelasti-

city. For more detailed simulations of fabric and fiber

response, one must turn to general constitutive rela-

tionships which more accurately model the behavior of

these materials. Unfortunately, there does not exist a

general concensus of the most realistic means of

achieving this goal. At present, the subject of non-

linear viscoelasticity is being pursued actively by

several groups, several of which are employing highly

divergent approaches to this problem. It is not

possible here to select any single approach as having

significantly greater merit than certain others.

However, the ease with which various constitutive

laws may be incorporated into the direct analysis scheme

makes it possible to assess relatively easily the in-

fluence of various assumed material models. As an

illustration of this capability, some results using

Eyring's model of thermally-activated nonlinear

viscoelasticity will be presented.

The computationally-convenient Wiechert model

can be extended to include the effect of material non-

linearity by rendering the springs and/or the dashpots

nonlinear. If,for instance ,one uses a power-law spring

and a nonlinear Eyring dashpot [21], defined as

A relation such as this requires an iterative numerical

solution for at each element and at each time3

step; the computer effort is increased but the princi-

ples of the impact algorithm are straightforward. The

principal obstacle to the use of nonlinear models in

the direct analysis is not the incorporation of the

models into the computational scheme, but rather the

determination of the material parameters (the b's,

k's,A's,and &.'s in Equation 46) applicable to the

microsecond time scale of polymer relaxations.

To illustrate the effect of nonlinear constitutive

models on panel ballistic response, a series of computer

experiments was performed on three different simulations

of nylon fabric: one using only linear elastic response

(only the equlibrium spring in the Wiechert model), one

using the standard linear solid model for linear visco-

elastic response (the equilibrium spring plus one spring-

dashpot arm), and the last being a standard linear

solid but with the dashpot made a nonlinear Eyring

element. The intial modulus was taken as 100 gm/den,

the relaxed modulus as 80 gm/den, and the relaxation

time for the standard linear solid as five Xsec (the

same as in the previous section). The concept of rela-

xation time (the time to complete 63.2% of the total

relaxation) has no meaning for the nonlinear element,

since the rate of relaxation changes nonlinearly with

the stress. Lacking any experimental data in this time

scale, the A and 04 were arbitrarily chosen so as to

cause relaxation in approximately the same time scale

as the standard linear solid. A and Ot were set at

e t3 -wsec c and 0.7 den/gm,respectively. The nonlinear

constitutive equation was solved at each element using

Muller'smethod [22t, which increased the computationtime relative to that of the standard linear solid by

roughly one-third.

IV. NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF WAVE PROPAGATION

IN TWO CROSSED FIBERS

Introduction

This chapter describes study of the dynamics of a

special but highly important physical system: that of

two fibers, one having been transversely impacted at

zero obliquity by a high-speed projectile, and the

other crossing the first perpendicularly at some

distance from the impact point. This system is germane

to the understanding of impact and wave propagation

phenomena in woven textile panels used for ballistic

protection. The wave propagation phenomena occuiring at

the fiber crossover have a strong influence on the

response of a woven panel to impact, since these panels

typically have on the order of forty crossovers per

inch. The nature of these crossovei interactions may

be one of the factors causing what appears to be an

excellent fiber in single-fiber ballistic tests to

exhibit less ballistic protection when woven into a

textile panel structure than a nominally inferior fiber.

As mentioned earlier, this situation obtains in the

case of the Kevlar ballistic protectio:. vests now

being used by military and police personnel: the Kevlar

vest outperforms the older nylon vest, in spite of

82 K

Page 86: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

nylon's having a higher transverse critical velocity.

The inability to predict vest performance from single-

fiber test data is a matter of considerable concern tothe armordesign community, and this study of fiber

crossover dynamics was begun to clarify this situation.

System Idealization. The system of two crossed

fibers is modeled as in Figure 33, where the origin of

coordinates is placed at the midpoint of the clamped

primary fiber, which extends along the x-axis. The

projectile moves along the y-axis only, and impacts the

primary fiber at the origin. From symmetry, only half

the primary fiber need be considered. The secondaryprimary fiberatsm a - ryditnefoth

fiber extends along the z-axis and intersects theprimary fiber at some a'-_-zrary distance from the

origin. At the crossover point, the secondary fiber is

assumed to follow the motion of the primary fiber in

the direction perpendicular to the primary fiber (in

the x-y plane), but is allowed some measure of slip in

the direction parallel to the primary fiber. Motion of

the primary fiber is assumed to occur in the x-y plane

only, while the secondary fiber may move in all three

directions.

To proceed, the fibers are discretized as a series

of n pin-jointed finite elements of equal length as

shown in Figure 34. The masses of the elements are

taken to be lumped at the nodal end points of these

elements, and at these nodes are defined vector co-

ordinates ,i' velocity Zi' and tension T.. The

scalar strain 6: at each element will be computed

from the coordinates of the nodes at either end of

the element. The tension T. has the same direction

as the element itself (approximating the element's

assumed inability to support a bending moment), whileA

Vi is not constrained in direction. These elements are

now described as in the fabric analysis by simple

governing equations: impulse-momentum balance, strain-

displacement relation, constitutive relation, etc.

These relations are cast as a recursive algorithm for

proceeding from one element to the next along the

fiber length, and then repeating the process at a new

increment of time. The computer solution thus is re-

ferenced to a Lagrangian frame of reference attached

to and extending with the fiber, which effectively

reduces the problem to one dimension.

Momentum Balance. A consideration of impulse-

momentum balance at the i + 1st node provides a means

of computing the current velocity at that node in terms

viscoelasticity (Wiechezc model), and nonlinear visco-

elasticity (Eyring model).

Computation of New Projectile Velocity. The

algorithm described above proceeds from one element to

the next along the length of fiber, and i-" started by

imposing the initial projectile velocity on the first

node. At the end of the first time increment, a strain

will have developed in the first element due to the

velocity difference between the first and second nodes.

(Initially, all velocities, tensions,and strains are

set to zero.) This strain produces a tension as cal-

culated from the constitutive relation, and this tension

produces a velocity in the second node beginning at

the next time increment.

After each time increment, at the completion of

the lengthwise recursive calculations, a new projectile

tvelocity v can be computed by means of a momentum

balance using the tension at the first node:

Crossover Fiber Calculations. Computation of

field variables along the secondary fiber proceeds in a

lengthvise manner exactly as described above, although

the vector resolutions become slightly more complicated

due to the motion in three rather than two dimensions.

The secondary algorithm is started by imposing on the

first node of the crossover fiber the velocity imparted

to it by the primary fiber. As stated earlier, the

secondary fiber is allowed a measure of slip along the

primary fiber but is constrained to follow it in the

direction normal to the primary fiber. Denoting the

node on the primary fiber nearest the crossover point as

ix, the velocit" of this node resolved in directions

parallel and perpendicular to the primary fiber there

The crossover node ix will change with time if the

tangential slip along the primary fiber is sufficient.

After each time increp..nt, a new position of the first

node on the secondary fiber is computed, and ix is

assigned to the nearest node on the primary fiber.

tThe momentum-balance calculation of in the

primary fiber must be modified when the i+1 node is

Stability, Accuracy,and Efficiency. Criteria fcr

stability and accuracy of the above method are related

as in the fabric case to the theory of charactristics A

for hyperb(.lic systems of partial differential equationi A_

and are similar to those for finite-difference solutions

of wave propagation problems [14]. Given a wave

equation of the form

93

Page 97: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

which is to be solved by approximating ýt and Zx

by finite differences At and &x, a stability

ratio d can be defined as

(71)

The finite difference scheme is stable and accurate for

1= , stable but increasingly inaccurate for dc< 1,

and unstable for X(> 1. The choices for Ax and

St are thus not independent, but are related by the

wavespeed for the choice of OL= 1.

In the direct analysis of the fibers described

above, this stability criterion is equivalent to adjust-

ing the rate of march of the computer solution along

the fiber to match the rate of propagation of the

strain wave. Conceptually, this requirement is related

to the necessity of programming the finite governing

equations so as to model the actual continuous dynamic

process as accurately as possible. If a major disturb-

94

Page 98: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

ance - such as the passage of a strain wave with its

accompanying energy input - takes place in a finite

element which is not considered explicitly -in the

computational scheme, divergent numerical results are

very likely.

Once a stable computational scheme has been a

developed one usually attempts to increase its accuracy

to whatever limit is desired by decreasing the size of

the elements; i.e. Dy increasing the number of nodes. JSince for 6C = 1 a decrease in &x requires a corres-

ponding decrease in &t, the computation time - and

therefore the expense - required for analysis of a

given impact event increases as the square of the

number of nodes. The element size is therefore chosen

so as to balance the conflicting requirements of

economy and accuracy. As an example of computation

time, the CPU requirement for the IBM 370/168 system

was 0.168 minutes for a problem in which the strain wave

propagated 0.2 m along the primary fiber and 0.1 along

the secondary fiber, with a length increment of 2.0 m m.

As a means of improving code efficiency, the program

employs logical flags which terminate the length loop

computation when the computer passes the point along the

fiber length corresponding to the wavefront.

95

Page 99: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

Accuracy assessment for the case of two crossed

SI fibers is difficult, since no experimental or closed-

form mathematical analysis of this problem is available,

but some assurance of accuracy is derived from computer

runs in which the secondary fiber is placed at the

origin (the impact point). In this case, response of

both the primary and secondary fibers is found to be

that predicted by independent analyses. Data such as

that previously presented in Figure 23 is obtained along

the primary and secondary fibers. In certain cases to

be discussed below, the numerical overshoot and

oscillation observed near wavefrcnts cause problems in

interpretation of results. Thessoscillations are a

result of the inability of the discrete difference

equations to model discontinuities accurately. Although

the method is conditionally stable and the oscillations

are damped out away from the discontinuity, problems

of interpretation remain near the discontinuity. The

oscillation at the wavefront is diminished by the

material viscosity, and in some cases an "artificial"

viscosity may be included solely for the purpose of

smoothing the numerical results.

The figure shows the distribution of strain in each

fiber 28.7 /?"Sec after impact at 400 m/sec, where the

abscissa measures the distance along the secondary

fiber from the crossover point. The dotted line at

strain 1.45% depicts the level of strain which would

be generated in a single fiber atthis impact velocity.

In this example no viscosity has been included, and the

large overshoot at the wavefront causes problems in

interpretation of results. In spite of this oscillatory

behavior, however, an increase in strain in the primary

fiber behind the crossover due to the wavelet reflected

from the crossover is evident, as is a reduction in the A

strain intensity in the region of the primary fiber

beyond the crossover. More easily measured is the level

of strain intensity propagated along the secondary fiber.

SComputer experiments were conducted on thecrossover system for a range of fiber moduli and slide

factors, and graphical output similar to Figure 35 used

to determine coefficients of wave reflection, trans-

mittance, and diversion. These coefficients are defined

as that fraction of the outward-propagating strain wave

which is reflected backwards by the crossover, thefraction which passes through the crossover and continues

its outward propagation, and the fraction which is

diverted and begins propagating along the fiber passing

The variation in the transmission and diversion

coefficients with fiber modulus is shown in Figure 36.

The coefficient of reflection was near 1% over this

range of moduli, but showed considerable scatter, It is-

seen that the diversion coefficient is of a much larger

magznitude than the reflection coefficient, and that it varies

more strongly with the fiber modulus. The major

portion of the crossover influence on wave propagation

is thus ascribed to diversion rather than reflection.

This observation is of significance, since an

approximate treatment of fabric impact by Freeston and

Claus [231 sought to predict the increase of strain at

the impact point by considering wave propagation along

a single fiber which reflects a certain portion of the

outward-propagating wave at a series of discrete points

along its length. The analysis is then reduced to a

bookkeeping procedure in which one keeps track of

inward and outward-propagating waves in each of the

elements between these reflection points. This scheme

leads to a very simple computer code and one would hope

it could provide at least approximate guidance indesign.

Figure 37. A comparison of the reflection-only bounce model for wavepropagation in an impacted fabric, in comparison with thefabric model of this report.

Unfortunately, it appears that the reflection-only

model predicts much too high a strain level, except at

times very early in the ballistic event. Figure 37

shows the impact-point strain history as predicted by

the reflection-only model for a 400 m/sec impact on a

Kevlar 29 panel with 1575 yarns/m (the curve developed

by the "BOUNCE" code). This prediction is compared

101

Page 105: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

with that of the more general code described earlier

(the curve labeled "FABRIC"). At very short times, the

BOUNCE code results are likely superior, as they give

strains equal to that developed in a single transversely-

impacted fiber; the Fabric code shows a numerical lag

in the development of strain. The two codes achieve

similar values at near 1.5 microseconds, but after this

the bounce code increases rapidly to unreasonably high

values of strain and thus predicts penetration too

early. It is interesting, however, that the value of

the reflection coefficient chosen by Freeston and Claus

in order to bring their model into line with experiment

was very nearly that found explicitly in the crossover

study (0.01).

As the slide factor - decreases from-wniity toward

zero, representing less fiber-fiber friction at cross-

over points, one would expect that the reflection and

diversion coefficients would approach zero and that

the transmission coefficient would approach unity. At

&L.S = 0, there is no coupling between the two fibers

(until the arrival of the transverse kink wave, which

generally occurs later than the arrival of the longi-

tudinal wave). As seen in Figures 38, 39 and 40,

respectivelyfor Kevlar 29 fibers, this trend is

quantified by the results of the crossover computations.

In principle, it would be possible to include the

effects of fiber-fiber slippage in the two-dimensionalfabric code by incorporating the formulae of this

present chapter into the general code. Such an in-

corporation, however, would likely render the fabric

L code so much slower as to be uneconomic. In addition,

one has at present no real means of assessing the slide

parameter prneeded for the computation. It might be

possible, h.iwever, to adjust the viscosity of the

similar to those caused by fiber slippage. This method

would be similar to that employed during wave propaga- Ition calculations in geometrically dispersive composites

[24). If this approach is pursued in the future, the

data 6f Figures 38-40 will be useful in providingguidance as to the desired effect. As a final comment

on this work, it may be stated that the FABRIC impact

code provides a simulation of impact on textile fabrics

which is already of sufficient accuracy that inclusion

of the fiber crossover effects would not be considered

necessary, at least in the case of tightly woven panels

which do not exhibit extensive fiber slippage during

impact.

CONCLUSIONS

The numerical analyses described in this report

offer a means whereby the designer of personnel armor

may perform computer-aided design and analysis of what

up until now has been an impossibly intractable

problem. Perhaps as useful as the ability to perform

such analyses, however, is the extent to which the

armor designer's intuition of the mechanics of penetra-

tion is enhanced by this tool. These numerical codes

106

Page 110: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

are easily implemented on any modern computer system,

and run very economically. They are also extremely

amenable to user modification in order to permit easy

implementation of various constitutive laws, fracture

models, etc.

Certain areas still exist, however, for significant

improvement in this treatment. First, the codes are

presently limited to zero-obliquity impact by a

projectile whose lateral dimensions are small compared

with the region of influence during impact. Relativelyminor code modifications would be necessary to include

oblique impacts by large and arbitrarily shaped

projectiles. In this manner the influence of projectile

geometry could be modeled. Second, and more important,

is the necessity to incorporate more acccurate models

of material response. As was demonstrated within this

report, rather sophisticated constitutive and

fracture algorithms can be implemented within the

codes with no serious difficulties. More work is

needed, however, to determine the extent to which these

or other models are applicable to fabric response in

the ballistic time frame, and to determine the numerical

parameters to be used in the models.

Two examples of this latter problem may be repeated

here. First, recall that the treatment of nonlinear

107

Page 111: PENETRATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE …vant to the penetration mechanics of textile structures intended for use in per-: ~ sonnel ballistic protection, and then describes the development

viscoelastic effects was limited not by the code

i capability, but by the present lack of understanding

as to which of several possible nonlinear constitutive

laws would most accurately model ballistic response.

Regardless of the model selected, work is required to

obtain experimentally the numerical data required as

input parameters.

Second, the otherwise very successful materiais

parametric study described in the report is deficient

in that it predicts that Kevlar 29 should far outperform

Si Kevlar 49. In fact, the two aramid fabrics perform

almost equally well, and some evidence suggests that

Kevlar 49 is actually superior. The authors have no

doubt that this discrepancy lies not in the wave-

propagation aspects of the code predictions, but in the

dynamic failure criterion used. Micrographs of

ballistically-fractured fibers show extensive

fibrillation, and evidence exists which suggest that

Kevlar 29 and 49 differ primarily in their extent of

fibrillation during fracture. Experimental work aimed•i at elucidating the nature of the fracture mechanism

is needed; incorporation of the resulting information

into the penetration codes should follow without

difficulty.

APPENDIX A -The FABRIC Code

II General. FABRIC is a FORTRAN coding of the

numerical analysis of fabric impact which was

described in Chapter II. In its present form, the

code is restricted to zero-obliquity impact on an

orthogonal fabric mesh consisting of only one fiber

type. These constraints could be relaxed through

suitable code modifications. The code was developed

and implemented on MIT's IBM 370/168 computer system,

but was later implemented without difficulty on the

NARADCOM computer. The code was run at MIT in a batch

mode, but could easily be modified for interactivei• ~ terminal operation: this would likely consist primarily !

of adding terminal queuing for data input and graphical

display for output data.

Code input and output. The input data needed by

FABRIC is detailed in a series of comment lines at the

beginning of the code listing. Briefly, these include

specification of the impact velocity and projectile

mass, the fabric idealization (principally the number

of fibers per unit length), the constitutive and frac-

ture properties of the fibers, and such run paramatersas maximum alloted time and printing increment.

Code output consists first of a series of values

and which the computer requires in order to begin the

After each time increment (or less often, depending

on the value used for the print skip increment INC), the

code prints-the current values of the field variables

at each node in the fabric octant. Currently, these

are simply dumped in order of the calculation scheme as

defined by Figure 10. This presentation of data has

been sufficient for the research studies discussed in

this report, but for production design work, graphical

x- and z-coordinates of the i,j node. This print also

presents the current time after impact, the current

projectile velocity, the energy lost by the projectile

and the partition of impact energy into a strain and

kinetic components within the fabric. Clearly, a great

deal of data is made available by the code, and the user

should modify the output format so as to provide the

most convenient display of results for his needs.

Program Requirements. In its present form, the

FABRIC code is self-contained, needing no external

software support. All its subroutines, for instance,

are contained within the listing given below. One

qualification to this statement however, is the inclu-

sion of a call to Subroutine UERTST within the nonlinear

equation-solving subroutine ZNOLNR. UERTST is an error-

handling routine available through the proprietary

"International Mathematics and Statistics Library"

(IMSL). If IMSL is not available at the user's location,

the call to UERTST could be removed with little risk:

no error-handling capability was needed during any of

the computer experiments described in the body of this

report.

FABRIC needs no tape or disk support; all compu-

tations are performed directly within core. Core

requirements and run times are dependent both on problem

specifications and on the computer system, but by way

. of illustration some parameters observed during a typi-

cal run on the IBM 370/168 system will be mentioned.

During an impact simulation of a Kevlar 29 single layer

at 300 m/sec, the computed time-to-penetration was

42.87 /Lsec. The panel was idealized as having a A

fiber spacing of 0.3175 cm, and the time step for

optimum code stability was 0.32234 /h•sec. A total oi

133 time increments was therefore necessary for the

run, with each time increment involving an additional

node relative to the previous step. The total run

time for this job was 1.089 minutes ($12.92 at weekend

rates), and a total of 182 kilobytes of CPU core was

required. When this same problem was run at NARADCOM,

3 min 50 sec of CPU time was required, which illustrates

the system dependency of such job parameters.

APPENDIX B - The XOVER Code

General. XOVER is the FORTRAN program written to

carry out the calculations described in Chapter IV

of this report. It is identical in concept to the

FABRIC code, differing primarily in the dimensionality

of the problem. XOVER is essentially a treatmei,. of

transverse ballistic impact on a single fiber as

described earlier by Roylance [18], but it has been

modified to include a second fiber, transverse to the

first, which receives its loading from the motion of

the first (primary) fiber. The code is made more

complicated than the single-fiber case by the necessity

of allowing motion in all b-hree directions for the

secondary fiber, and in computing the initial values of

the secondary fiber in terms of the primary fiber

motion. As described in the text, allowance is made

for slippage of the secondary fiber along the primary.

Code requirements. As was true for the FABRIC

code, XOVER r:equires little hardware or software

support. At present, the code includes a call to an

MIT library subroutine PRTPLT for the purpose of

obtaining a rough plot of the nodal variable values

on the system line printer. This subroutine call could

136I

be removed without affecting the performance of other

parts of the code. For a typical run, in which two

crossed Kevlar fibers were impacted at 300 m/sec, the

job run time was 0.305 minutes and 170 kilobytes of

core was reserved.

Definition of program variables. XOVER is

conveniently described by means of a listing of the

principal program variables: (* denotes input data)

"A 8.826 x 106 (dt/dl)

CROSS* Initial crossover position (fraction of XLI)

CZ Wavespeed (m/sec)

DEN* Fiber denier

DL Length increment (cm)

DT Time increment (sec)

t El (J), E2(J) Strain at jth node in primary and secondaryfiber

SEIOLD(J), Strain at previous time incrementE2OLD(J)

EMAX* Maximum strain permitted

EEMAX Maximum strain in fibers

G* Instantaneous modulus (gm/den)

IPLOT* .EQ. 0 if no printer plot is desired

11,12,13* Node numbers at which plot desired (13 onsecondary)

137

JX Crossover node on primary fiber

JJX Initial crossover node

KMAX Maximum number of time increments

LPSKIP* Length print skip

LTSKIP* Time print skip

NLINC* Number of length increments on primary"fiber

PMASS* Projectile mass (gm)

PVELOC* Projectile velocity (m/sec)

SLIDE* Slip factor (1-no slip, 0-no friction)

TAU* Viscous relaxation time (sec)

TITLE* Alphanumeric title (80 characters max.)

STI (J), Tension in primary and secondary fibers! T2%'J)

J(gm/den)I T1OLD(J),T2)LD(J) Previous tension (gm/den)

TMAX* Maximum time (sec)

,Ul(J), X-component of velocity in primary andU2(J) secondary fibers (m/sec)

Vl (J), Y-component of velocity

V2 (J)

VLAMDA* Viscous fraction (0-elastic, 1-purelyi' Viscous)

138

i

Wl (J), Z-component of velocityW2 (J)

XLl, XL2 Half-length of primary and secondaryfibers (cm)

Xl(J),Note thX-coordinate of jth node on primary and

secondary fibers

Zl (J), Z-coordinateZ2 (J)

Note that in its present form, XOVER is written

: explicitly for viscoelastic material response of the

S~standard linear solid type. For elastic fibers, the

:• user should set VLAMDA to zero and G to the Young's

• • modulus; TAU could be any nonzero-.value. The variables

required by the code are indicated as input information

and are specified in the above list by an asterisk; an

example of a typical input data set is given below.
