Comparative evaluation of ballistic resistance of textile armor packages against steel and lead bullets

The paper contains physical models of high-speed interaction of non-deformable and deformable impactors with textile armor. The effect of the impactor deformability and of the method of the armor pack fixation on its ballistic characteristics is analyzed. Computational echniques are described for evaluation of textile armor ballistic resistance against steel- and leadcore bullets; quantitative dependences for valuation of different grades of Russian armor textiles for different ways of fixation are presented.
