Mechanics research was conducted to identify/investigate key
architectural parameters for improving dynamic energy absorption
levels in woven fabrics and composites.
Crimp-imbalance, defined using the ratio of crimp contents among
warp and weft reinforcing fibers, was successfully identified and
evaluated using highly robust numerical models.
Crimp-imbalance, which decouples the transmissibility
of stress waves along fiber directions, was shown to
significantly increase energy absorption capacities by
up to 20%. The governing energy balance showed
that greater energy transfer occurred through
dissipative means (i.e.; inter-fiber friction and damping)
rather than through strain energy mechanisms.
Numerical models were developed using single-ply,
woven fabrics constructed of High Performance Fibers
subjected to FSP projectiles for both normal and
oblique angles of incidence.
The effects of functionally-graded crimp-imbalance in
multi-layered systems will be shown to provide
increased energy absorption levels and tailoring for
specific threats.

BASIC MECHANISM
• High velocity results in low pressure along the projectile body
• At low enough pressures, the water vaporizes
• Bubble envelops body
• Skin friction is greatly reduced (order of magnitude)
• The body must be designed for stable flight riding in cavity
Supercavitation enables very high speed and extended range
