The Critical Role of A Backing Material in Assessing The Performance of Soft Ballistic Protection by Ishan Kakad is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study highlights the importance of backing materials in testing soft ballistic protection, demonstrating that the inclusion of ballistic gelatine significantly affects the performance metrics of body armor against fragment-simulating projectiles. Experiments revealed that using a backing material resulted in more accurate assessments of injury-related metrics, such as the velocity at which armor perforation occurs (V50) and the depth of penetration. The findings support the need for updated testing sta
