Abstract

The work systematically reviews the research progress in ballistic protection composites and their ballistic characteristics, to explore their application potential and optimization pathways in ballistic protection, and to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the optimized design and engineering application of high-performance protective materials. By systematically reviewing relevant literature, this paper first elaborates the basic mechanisms and key performance evaluation indicators of ballistic protection. It then categorically summarizes the ballistic performance and development status of typical fiber-reinforced composites, such as Kevlar, glass fiber, basalt fiber, carbon fiber, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. On this basis, it delves into the design methods and protective mechanisms of laminated structures, covering various composite forms including nonmetal-nonmetal and metal-nonmetal configurations. Finally, considering trends in novel materials and structural design, it outlines future development directions. A systematic summary of material systems, theoretical mechanisms, and experimental methods is of significant importance for promoting the optimized design and engineering application of ballistic protection composites.
