Description
Summary:Woven fabric composites based on different technical fiber material and different design architecture continue to be an attractive structural component against ballistic impact. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify material properties and design architecture that plays a role in determining the ballistic performance. This paper presents a short review on influence features that are important in enhancing the ballistic performance. Each of the features is outlined in depth including citation from its original references. Apart from this, an attempt to showcase trend in recent research publications and activity involves 2D, 3D and hybrid woven fabric composites is also covered. The reference list will provide a database for elementary knowledge and motivation for prospective research in woven composites. © 2019 Author(s).
