Session 5: Behind the Armour: Science, Design, and Impact of BulletproofJackets.

Описание: The ATAL Online Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Modeling and simulation of composite materials: fabrication, characterization and applications” was organized from February 9 to 14, 2026, by Department of Mechanical Engineering, Elitte College of Engineering. This Faculty Development Programme (FDP) was designed to disseminate cutting-edge
knowledge in the field of composite materials to faculty members, research scholars, and industry professionals. It provided a valuable platform for participants to engage with eminent experts from premier institutions, leading R&D organizations and internationally acclaimed researchers.
Dr. Hemant Chouhan, Associate Professor, Ahmedabad University, introduced participants to Bulletproof jackets as more accurately termed ballistic vests or bullet-resistant vests that is used for sophisticated personal protective equipment designed to absorb the kinetic energy of bullets
and fragments, preventing penetration into the wearer's torso. His session demonstrated that how Modern armour combines advanced materials science with meticulous design to offer protection against various threats, from handguns to high-velocity rifles.
