| Abstract: | Various materials have been employed in the past for the protection against the ballistics with only limited satisfaction without realizing the underlying mechanism of ballistic impact. With the advent of high performance materials and computing techniques in the recent years, the mechanism of ballistic penetration has clearly been established, paving a path for the selection of newer materials for better protection and satisfying the requirements of both the wearer and the technologist. This review attempts to coalesce the ideas of exuberant research that has gone into the field of ballistic protection right from material selection to modelling with emphasis on evaluation methods and mechanism. |
