Abstract

The aim of this study was the determination of the deforming micromechanisms of needlepunched felts subjected to impact loads. A large experimental campaign has been carried out to analyze the influence of the fiber alignment in the ballistic performance. Ballistic limit curves of predeformed samples were compared. The fiber realignment was experimentally measure by means of 2D X-Ray diffraction. Higher specific absorption was observed for samples with a more isotropic mechanical response. A constitutive physicallybased model was developed within the context of the finite element method, which provided the constitutive response for a mesodomain including micromechanical aspects as fiber alignment, fiber sliding and pull-out. The macroscopic response has been validated with the experimental results, showing a very good agreement. The absorbed energy by the material during the impact was predicted and the fiber realignment evolution was also obtained.
