Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this study, the ballistic properties of the hybrid armor samples that have different
number of layers of para-aramid material Kevlar 129, polyethylene material SB21
and woven material E-glass, produced by hand lay-up and hand-pressing with using
epoxy resin matrix against 9 mm bullet, were investigated experimentally. In the tests
the protection levels are applied per NIJ 0101.04 standards (National Institute of
Justice (NIJ) Level III A, the approved U.S.A. Ballistic Standard). Results show that
the area of the delamination is important to quantify the ballistic properties.
