Abstract

The layered polycarbonate composite material has been considered. The
plates based on this material used as inserts in fabric-base armor vests can to
combine both the fire-arm and sharp edged weapon protection. Quasi-static, dynamic
and fire-arm tests of composite plate’s results have been exhibited. There
is advance of composite plates relative to pure polycarbonate plates. Minimal distance
to hit near first puncture, where stabbing protection is safe, has been found
with digital image correlation method.
