MULTI-LAYERED IMPACT RESISTANT PLY AND COMPOSITE

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention described and shown in the specification and drawings is a ballistic resistant fibrous ply (10) including two or more layers of a fibrous network (12) having a plurality of unidirectional oriented fibers, when adjacent layers are aligned, the fibers in adjacent fibrous networks (12) arranged at an acute angle to each other. An alternative embodiment disclosed is a ballistic resistant composite including two or more layers of a fibrous ply (10), each fibrous ply (10) having a plurality of unidirectional oriented fibers (14). When the layers of plies are aligned, the fibers in adjacent fibrous plies are arranged at an acute angle to each other.
