Mechanical and impact characterization of hybrid composite laminates with carbon, basalt and flax fibres (2017, background): “It might be suggested therefore that even for impact at ener gies causing penetration both laminates does not undergo a substantial loss of rigidity resulting in uncontrolled deformation and usually in the end in loss of material at rear, usually defined as “spall ing” [27].”
A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications (2015, background): “On the other hand, at high speeds, such as 300m/s, similar performance is shown by flax, jute, and hemp, but jute showed brittleness and low strength of fibers [81].”
Effect of layering sequence and chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of woven kenaf-aramid hybrid laminated composites (2015, background): “Thus high performances are widely used in personal body armour, ballistic helmet and many other ballistic applications [12–14].”
