Abstract
The article presents results of research and analysis of the currently conducted project aiming at the development of a flexible impact protector. The need to carry out the work results from the necessity of the ever-wider and more frequent use of body armours, including those resistant to blunt impacts, by the army, police and other public security services as well as a demand for impact protective elements in the civilian market. In the first part, the assumptions regarding the protective coverage under development and the origin of the topic with reference to earlier work on the use of non-Newtonian fluids in body armours are indicated. Next, the requirements for impact protectors and a review of the state of the art in the scope of this type of protective elements are presented. Finally, the results of the impact tests of armour samples are shown.
