Abstract
One of the urgent tasks of the development of new protective structures is to improve the ballistic performance of thermoplastic composites reinforced with synthetic high-strength fibres. Hybrid composites based on various types of fibres or fabrics with different weaving could be a possible solution to this problem. This paper presents the results of computational and experimental studies of hybrid composites based on aramid fabrics with satin and plain weave structures. Numerical modelling based on the reduced ply-level approach was used for the design of hybrid composites. The results obtained during calculations were in good agreement with validation experiments.
