Composite Materials And Fibers Used In Ballistic Panel And Protective Armor Production

Abstract

All living things need to protect themselves against attacks from outside world instinctively. And likewise, throughout history human beings not only have taken precautions against environmental factors but also against attacks from enemies. These precautions include precautions against leather, metal and metal derivatives, ditches, city walls and castles. And today, the combination of light fabrics having high resistance and elasticity with polymers forms the basis for ballistic panel and armour production. Investments in the area of ballistics, particularly military investments, as well as academic and military studies, indicate the significance of the issue. This study examines the characteristics of the composites used in ballistic panel and personal protective armour production; the combinations of the protectors made of composite materials and the ballistic tests applied to these protectors. This study which is a collection of the existing studies by examining them will provide literature support for studies on ballistic.

Balistik Panel ve Koruyucu Zırh Üretiminde Kullanılan Lif ve Kompozit Malzemeler

Öz

Her canlı varlık, dışarıdan gelebilecek saldırılara karşı içgüdüsel olarak korunma ihtiyacı hissetmektedir. Insanoğlu da tarih boyunca çevresel faktörlere karşı önlem aldığı gibi, düşmanlardan gelebilecek saldırılara da önlemler almıştır. Bu önlemler metal ve metal türevlerinden başlayarak, hendekler, surlar ve kaleler olarak devam etmiştir. Günümüzde ise, teknolijinin gelişmesiyle ortaya çıkan yüksek direnç ve elastikiyet özelliklerine sahip hafif kumaşların polimerlerle kombinasyonları, balistik panel ve zırh üretiminin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Askeri alanlar başta olmak üzere balistik alanında yapılan yatırım , akademik ve askeri çalışmalar, bu konunun önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada, balistik panel ve kişisel koruyucu zırh üretiminde kullanılan kompozit malzemelerin özellikleri, kompozit malzemeler ile elde edilen koruyucuların kombinasyonları ve bu koruyuculara uygulanan balistik testler incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmaların irdelenerek derlenmesiyle oluşan bu çalışma, balistik alanında yapılacak çalışmalara literatür desteği sağlayacaktır.
