{"product_id":"9781845691554","title":"Lightweight Ballistic Composites: Military and Law-Enforcement Applications","description":"Ballistic composites need to be lightweight and durable as well as exhibiting high impact resistance and damage tolerance. This important book reviews these requirements, how the materials used for ballistic composites meet them and their range of applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter an introductory chapter, Lightweight ballistic composites is split into two main sections. The first part of the book explores material requirements and testing. There are chapters on bullets and bullet fragments, material responses to ballistic impact, standards and specifications, modelling and test methods. Part Two reviews the range of materials used, production methods and applications. Topics discussed include high-performance ballistic fibres and ceramics, non-woven ballistic and prepreg composites, and their uses in body armour, vehicle and aircraft protection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis major book is the first of its kind to give a comprehensive review of the current use of lightweight ballistic composites in both military and law-enforcement applications. It is an invaluable reference for all those involved in personnel and vehicle protection in defence and police forces around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the current use of lightweight ballistic composites in both military and law-enforcement application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn authoritative overview of the range of materials used, production methods and applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores material requirements and testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157729788144,"sku":"9781845691554","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845691554_p0.jpg?v=1763745316","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845691554","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
