"This new book, Protective Armor Engineering Design, provides an in-depth survey of the state of the art of research and practical techniques in the area of protected fabrics, especially stab-resistant and bulletproof fabrics. There is increasing interest in the area of protective vests, either for protection against bullets or protection from the most realistic threats within domestic frontline operations: edged weapon, knives, and medical needles, and this volume addresses that interest. The book discusses The history of the protective armor: The book discusses the art of the protective armor manufacturing, which has a long history that started in ancient Egypt and China civilizations. Materials used for body armor: The book looks at the design and materials used for soft armor to increase its perforation-resistance utilizing high-performance fibers. The different fabric structures and fiber type properties are thoroughly outlined. Anti-stab and anti-bullet armor design: The different design parameters required for the design of flexible armor in order to stop high-velocity projectiles are discussed. The comfort of the body armor design: Protection and comfort are significant aspects for body armor. These take into consideration the flexibility, thermal resistivity, and evaporative moisture resistivity through the fabric. Method of testing the flexible body armors: Methods of testing the components of the flexible body armor are considered, according to the level of the protection required, such as NIJ Standards, HOSDB Body Armour Standards for UK Police, German SK1 Standard, among others. Written by an expert in textile composite material engineering, this volume fills an important gap the area of the protective fabric against stabbing or bullets and provides practical knowledge for body armor design. Protective Armor Engineering Design will be highly valuable for designers of protective armor, professionals in the body armor industries, materials science researchers and students, textile technologists, and others"--
