Static and dynamic Raman spectroscopic studies of woven body armour

This thesis studies the behaviour under strain of the high strength para-aramid polymer fibre, Twaron® and fabrics woven from it using Raman spectroscopy. These fabrics are widely used in armour and the project aimed to understand how strain developed in them during penetration. Three key conclusion...
