Ballistic behavior of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with piassava fiber against high energy ammunition

Multilayered Armor Systems are low density plates used in personal protection against high-impact energy ammunition. Such system promotes effective protection, by dissipating the projectile energy and preventing the penetration of fragments. Kevlar™ is commonly used as one of the layers. However, re...
