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 11):
A kinetic energy absorptive composite article comprising:\n a ply containing multiple substantially parallel fibers; a matrix material at least partially encapsulating the ply; multiple lower strength length portions distributed along each individual fiber of the multiple fibers or multiple lower modulus length portions distributed along each individual fiber of the multiple fibers; multiple higher strength length portions distributed along each individual fiber of the multiple fibers, the higher strength length portions of individual fibers being defined by and extending between two respective lower strength length portions of the same fiber and the lower strength length portions having failure strains less than a failure strain of the higher strength length portions that is the same among the higher strength length portions, or multiple higher modulus length portions distributed along each individual fiber of the multiple fibers, the higher modulus length portions being defined by and extending between two respective lower modulus length portions of the same fiber and the lower modulus length portions having moduli less than a modulus of the higher modulus length portions that is the same among the higher modulus length portions; a designated pattern of the lower strength length portions or of the lower modulus length portions distributed to selected locations identified in the ply; and a corresponding designated pattern of the higher strength length portions or of the higher modulus length portions defined by the designated pattern of the lower strength length portions or of the lower modulus length portions.
