Design and Construction of Graphene-Based Multilayered Composite Matrix-Based Anti-personal Protection Combat Shoes
摘要
Carbon nanostructures propose a promising solution for ballistic protection of human aids which has been possible due to its excellent mechanical properties and low specific weight. Many researchers have investigated the behavior of graphene under impact conditions and revealed exceptional properties in both energy absorption an energy dissipation through its volume. However, there is a limit reported numerical and experimental values, and they differ by large order of magnitude. With this work, we provide a new shoe sole design regarding impact force experienced by the soldiers due to the overwhelming explosive force caused due to AP mines. A finite element study is presented as evidence that gives a layer-by-layer design of a new military shoe that can substantially decrease the trauma experienced by the human skeleton with the assistance of a ‘deflector’ and corresponding layers of different thickness.
