Advanced Fibrous Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection provides the latest information on ballistic protection, a topic that remains an important issue in modern times due to ever increasing threats coming from regional conflicts, terrorism, and anti-social behavior. The basic requirements for ballistic protection equipment are first and foremost, the prevention of a projectile from perforating, the reduction of blunt trauma to the human body caused by ballistic impact, the necessity that they are thermal and provide moisture comfort, and that they are lightweight and flexible to guarantee wearer’s mobility. The main aim of this book is to present some of the most recent developments in the design and engineering of woven fabrics and their use as layering materials to form composite structures for ballistic personal protection. Chapter topics include High Performance Ballistic Fibres, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), Ballistic Damage of Hybrid Composite Materials, Analysis of Ballistic Fabrics and Layered Composite Materials, and Multi-Scale Modeling of Polymeric Composite Materials for Ballistic Protection. Contributions from leading experts in the field Cutting edge developments on the engineering of ballistic materials Comprehensive analysis of the development and uses of advanced fibrous composite materials

Mechanics of Fibrous Networks covers everything there is to know about the mechanics of fibrous networks, from basic analysis of simple networks to the characterization of complex cases of deformation, loading, damage and fracture. Looking at various types of fibrous materials, the book studies their microstructural characterization, quantification of their mechanical properties, and performance at fiber and network levels. In addition, the book outlines numerical strategies for simulation, design and optimization of fibrous products. Techniques for testing the mechanical response of these materials in different loading and environmental conditions are outlined as well. This comprehensive resource will aid readers in obtaining qualitative data for various fibrous networks. In addition, it will help them develop modeling strategies and fine-tune mechanical performance fibrous networks and products by changing their microstructure to develop new products with desired properties and performance. Discusses all the main features and characteristics of fibrous networks, including their microstructural characterization, quantification of their mechanical properties, and performance at the fiber and network level Covers both basic analysis of simple networks as well as complex cases of deformation, loading, damage and fracture of fibrous networks Outlines advanced numerical schemes for simulation, design and optimization of various fibrous materials

The textile industry impacts the environment in a number of ways, including its use of resources, its impact on global warming, and the amount of pollution and waste it generates. Assessing the Environmental Impact of Textiles and the Clothing Supply Chain reviews methods used to calculate this environmental impact, including product carbon footprints (PCFs), ecological footprints (EFs), and life cycle assessment (LCA). The first chapters provide an introduction to the textile supply chain and its environmental impact, and an overview of the methods used to measure this impact. The book goes on to consider different environmental impacts of the industry, including greenhouse gas emissions, the water and energy footprints of the industry, and depletion of resources, as well as the use of LCA to assess the overall environmental impact of the textile industry. It then deals with the practice of measuring these impacts before forming a conclusion about the environmental impact of the industry. Assessing the Environmental Impact of Textiles and the Clothing Supply Chain provides a standard reference for R&D managers in the textile industry and academic researchers in textile science. Reviews the main methods used to calculate the textile industry’s use of resources, its impact on global warming and the pollution and waste it generates Reviews the key methods, their principles and how they can be applied in practice to measure and reduce the environmental impact of textile products Includes the following calculation methods: product carbon footprints (PCFs), ecological footprints (EFs) and life cycle assessment (LCA)
