Evaluation of availability of metal armour elements of tessellation construction in bullet-proof vest design

In this paper the possibility of making prefabricated bullet-proof metal armour elements in the form of small tessellation parts which allow to implement joint work of both armour element and highstrength fabric package in the structure of the bullet-proof armour vest was examined. With the help of the finite-element package LS-DYNA a series of calculations were carried out results of which allow to take a favorable view of perspective of making this armour element.
