by Tom Harris
Humans have been wearing armor for
thousands of years. Ancient tribes fastened
animal hide and plant material around their
bodies when they went out on the hunt, and
the warriors of ancient Rome and medieval
Europe covered their torsos in metal plates
before going into battle. By the 1400s, armor
in the Western world had become highly
sophisticated. With the right armor, you were
nearly invincible.
All that changed with the development of
cannons and guns in the 1500s. These
weapons hurl projectiles at a high rate of
speed, giving them enough energy to
penetrate thin layers of metal. You can
increase the thickness of traditional armor
materials, but they soon become too
cumbersome and heavy for a person to wear.
It wasn’t until the 1960s that engineers
developed a reliable bullet-resistant armor
that a person could wear comfortably.
Unlike traditional armor, this soft body
armor is not made out of pieces of metal; it
is formed from advanced woven fibers that
can be sewn into vests and other soft
clothing.
Soft body armor is a fairly mystifying
concept: How can a soft piece of clothing
stop bullets? The principle at work is actually
quite simple. At its heart, a piece of
bullet-proof material is just a very strong net.
To see how this works, think of a soccer
goal. The back of the goal consist of a net
formed by many long lengths of tether,
interlaced with each other and fastened to
the goal frame. When you kick the soccer
ball into the goal, the ball has a certain
amount of energy, in the form of forward
inertia. When the ball hits the net, it pushes
back on the tether lines at that particular
point. Each tether extends from one side of
the frame to the other, dispersing the energy
from the point of impact over a wide area.
The energy is further dispersed because the
tethers are interlaced. When the ball pushes
on a horizontal length of tether, that tether
pulls on every interlaced vertical tether.
These tethers in turn pull on all the
connected horizontal tethers. In this way, the
whole net works to absorb the ball’s inertial

halaman 3
energy, no matter where the ball hits.
If you were to put a piece of bulletproof
material under a powerful microscope, you
would see a similar structure. Long strands
of fiber are interlaced to form a dense net. A
bullet is traveling much faster than a soccer
ball, of course, so the net needs to be made
from stronger material. The most famous
material used in body armor is DuPont’s
KEVLAR fiber. KEVLAR is lightweight, like
a traditional clothing fiber, but it is five times
stronger than a piece of steel of the same
weight When interwoven into a dense net,
this material can absorb a great amount of
energy.
In addition to stopping the bullet from
reaching your body, a piece of body armor
also has to protect against blunt trauma
caused by the force of the bullet.
When you kick a ball into a soccer goal, the
net is pushed back pretty far, slowing the ball
down gradually. This is a very efficient
design for a goal because it keeps the ball
from bouncing out into the field. But
bulletproof material can’t give this much
because the vest would push too far into the
wearer’s both at the point of impact.
Focusing the blunt trauma of the impact in a
small area can cause severe internal injuries.
Bulletproof vests have to spread the blunt
trauma out over the whole vest so that the
force isn’t felt too intensely in any one spot.
To do this, the bulletproof material must
have a very tight weave. Typically, the
individual fibers are twisted, increasing their
density and their thickness at each point. To
make it even more rigid, the material is
coated with a resin substance and
sandwiched between two layers of plastic
film.
A person wearing body armor will still feel
the energy of a bullet’s impact, of course,
but over the whole torso rather than in a
specific area. If everything works correctly,
the victim won’t be seriously hurt. Since no
one layer can move a good distance, the vest
has to slow the bullet down using many dif-
ferent layers. Each “net” slows the bullet a
little bit more, until the bullet finally stops.
The material also causes the bullet to
deform at the point of the impact

Essentially, the bullet spreads out at the tip,

in the same way a piece of day spreads out if
you throw It against a wall. This process,
which further reduces the energy of the
bullet, is called “mushrooming.”
To sum up, modern soft body armor
consists of several layers of super-strong
webbing. This material disperses the energy
of a bullet over a wide area, preventing
penetration and dissipating blunt trauma.
This sort of armor, as well as hard armor,
ranges considerably in effectiveness,
depending on the materials used as well as
the armor design. However, no bulletproof
vest is completely impenetrable, and there is
no piece of body armor that will make you
invulnerable to attack.
