<p>A lightweight armor (10) with repeat hit capability includes at least one layer of material (20) that absorbs energy upon being impacted by an object through a reversible phase change and/or an elastic strain deformation of at least 5%. Once the energy of the object has been absorbed the layer of material (20) returns to its original shape, thereby resulting in a armor (10) with repeat hit capabilities. The armor may also include additional layers of material (30,40) constructed of conventional armor materials. A method of manufacturing such an armor is also disclosed.</p> |
