This important book reviews these requirements, how the materials used for ballistic composites meet them and their range of applications. The first part of the book explores material requirements and testing. There are chapters on bullets and bullet fragments, material responses to ballistic impact, standards and specifications, modelling and test methods. Part Two reviews the range of materials used, production methods and applications. Topic discussed include high-perfo ER -
