Experimental and numerical method were employed to determine impact resistance of the 30 layer-aramid fabric compositeby. Firstly

the multi-layer fabric composite was fabricated and specimens were prepared according to theexperiment requirement. Secondly

the bullet impact experiment was implemented to obtain mechanical performance of the composite

such as interface delaminate

fiber fracture. Thirdly

the FEM model was set up in Abaqus

and Hashin criterion and Cohesive element were adapted to simulate behavior of composite failure and interface delamination. The information of displacement

strain field

velocity of the bullet were obtained. Finally

FEM simulation result was compared with experiment result

ballistic performance of the composite under impact load was analyzed

which contributed to engineer application.
