  • Abstract:
  • Impact testing is a method of characterization of material properties during collisions. In this research article, the focus was made on impact energy absorption characteristics of Kevlar material composite. The series of test were carried out for different velocities. The height of impactor was based on energy absorption during quasi static test. It is observed that the optimal impact energy absorption was 0.53J/g for a velocity of 3.13 m/s. The properties obtained from tensile test was utilized to carry out the FEA simulation. The result obtained from FEA simulation was in good agreement with experimental results.
