Finite Element Modeling of Fragment Fabric Barriers
Test 29 -4 plies Zylon Gripped on 4 edges
96 g fragment
Above is the
description of the detailed fabric model used as a fabric barrier research
tool. Another component of this program is the development of a design model.
The design model can be used as a tool for choosing or evaluating parameters
for fragment barriers. Because it uses a simplified description of the
fabric, the model runs very quickly (about 2 minutes on an SGI Origin 200 for
the tests shown here) and easily allows evaluation of changes in size of
fabric, number of layers, or yarn pitch.
