| Summary | Annotation Ballistic composites are materials with superior properties being lightweight and durable under environmental conditions, (water and chemicals) with high performance (high strength, impact and ballistic resistance, damage tolerance). Lightweight ballistic composites are used in a wide range of lightweight vehicle, watercraft and aircraft armour giving high performance and lightweight protection against bullets and fragments. They also have exceptional insulating properties in high temperature environments. This major new book will be the first of its kind to give a comprehensive review of the current use of lightweight ballistic composites in both military and law-enforcement applications. CONTENTS Ballistic fibres; Woven ballistic composites; Non-woven ballistic composites; Ballistic prepeg; Ballistic specification; Ballistic material processing; Ceramic faced moulded armour; Ballistic testing; Ballistic mechanics; Ballistic modelling; Ballistic applications; New ballistic products. |
