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 19):
The article of  claim 16  wherein the article is configured so that application of a force from kinetic energy to the higher strength length portion above a separation threshold plastically deforms the ply and the matrix material, separates the fibers at both the first and second locations, and creates a separated segment containing the higher strength length portion, the segment then having a length no less than the higher strength length portion and no greater than combined lengths of the higher strength length portion and the first and second lower strength length portions.
