[PDF] Tensile Properties of Dyneema SK76 Single Fibers at ...
Abstract Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers such as Dyneema and Spectra are seeing more use in lightweight armor applications due to higher tensile strength and lower density compared to aramid fibers such as Kevlar and Twaron. Numerical modeling is used to improve the design of fiber-based composite protective systems. Material response such as tensile stress–strain of ...
