Notes:
A numerical simulation of ballistic impact and penetration on woven textile panels is described which can easily incorporate a wide variety of realistic constitutive and fracture models. The use of this model in assessing Viscoelastic relaxation effects is illustrated, and is further extended to include non-linear Viscoelastic effects. Since a variety of non-linear models is presently available and there is insufficient evidence to indicate the superiority of any single one in this instance, the Eyring non-linear model was chosen arbitrarily to indicate the ease with which these models may be implemented into the numerical treatment. The results obtained using the non-linear model are compared with comparable computer experiments using linear elastic and linear Viscoelastic models.
