Abstract

This research has been analyzing the ability of abaca fiber/HGM/epoxy/carbon fiber composite that was carried out in absorbing the impact energy of projectiles. Simulation analysis has been used by the Finite Element Method of CAE software. The measurement criteria used are based on the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) 0101.06 level IIIA standard. The thickness of the composite various between the thickness of HGM-abaca and the number of carbon layers to obtain the optimal thickness. The benchmark criteria for the simulation results include: the Back Face Signature (BFS) must not exceed 44 mm, the kinetic energy transmitted to the user of the body armor is less than 170 joules, and the armor does not penetrate the whole body. The results have shown that the variation in the configuration of the specimen with a thickness of 10 mm HGM-Abaca with 10 layers of carbon fiber was the best configuration and fulfilled the standard criteria of NIJ 0101.06 level IIIA with a BFS value of 28.10 mm, an infiltration value of 8.6 mm and a high kinetic energy value that forwarding to the user of 144.65 J.
