Abstract:
A kinetic energy absorptive composite article includes a ply containing multiple substantially parallel fibers having inherent failure strains and having inherent moduli. A matrix material at least partially encapsulates the ply. The ply includes multiple lower strength length portions or multiple lower modulus length portions. The multiple lower strength length portions are distributed along individual fibers of the multiple fibers and have failure strains less than the inherent failure strains. The multiple lower modulus length portions are distributed along individual fibers of the multiple fibers and have moduli less than the inherent moduli. A designated pattern of the lower strength length portions or of the lower modulus length portions is distributed to selected locations identified in the ply. An absorptive method includes distributing a load across the designated pattern when the ply receives a force from kinetic energy.

Claim (Index 16):
A kinetic energy absorptive composite article comprising:\n a ply containing multiple substantially parallel fibers; a matrix material at least partially encapsulating the ply and at least partially joining together the multiple fibers into joined fibers; a first lower strength length portion of the joined fibers or a first lower modulus length portion of the joined fibers at a selected first location identified in the ply; a second lower strength length portion of the joined fibers or a second lower modulus length portion of the joined fibers at a selected second location identified in the ply and separated from the first location; and a higher strength length portion of the joined fibers or a higher modulus length portion of the joined fibers extending from the first location to the second location, the higher strength length portion having a failure strain greater than respective failure strains of both the first and second lower strength length portions or the higher modulus length portion having a modulus greater than respective moduli of both the first and second lower modulus length portions.
