Abstract: Having excellent anti-ballistic property and light weight,fabrics and flexible composite laminates made of high tenacity,high strength,and high modulus fibers have been widely applied in impact-related areas such as turbine blade containment,fuselage protection and body armor.Research indicated that it is the properties of material and the system of its construction that decide its ballistic impact property.The paper presents a review of the factors that influence ballistic impact performance,specifically,the fiber bundle property,fabric structure,bullet geometry and velocity,fixed form of the target board and the friction between bullet and the board.This can be used as a guide in designing materials of impact resistance.
