Textile materials can be used as a soft solution to protect the human body of the soldier and as a hard solution to provide more efficient armour for various types of vehicles. Their advantages are numerous in terms of performance versus weight, forming ability and availability of different types of high-performance yarns. Special attention has been given to the 3D warp interlock fabrics structure in the above applications. For the soft protection application, a body armour adapted to the female breast was designed based on different layers of 3D warp interlock fabric made of para-aramid yarns. A compromise was found between the formability criterion, which facilitates the adaptation of the body armour to the body, and the kinetic energy absorption in ballistic impact, which tends to minimize the blunt trauma criterion. For hard protection, a new vehicle up-armour was found to protect the interior from the high-velocity impact of projectiles. A compromise was also found to optimize the kinetic energy absorption in this high-velocity impact and the capacity of dynamic deformation of the protection solution to avoid structural damage and keep the integrity of the armour solution safe.

纺织材料可以作为保护士兵人体的软解决方案，也可以作为为各类车辆提供更高效装甲的硬解决方案。它们在性能与重量、成型能力和不同类型高性能纱线的可用性方面具有众多优势。上述应用中的 3D 经纱互锁织物结构得到了特别关注。对于软保护应用，基于对位芳纶纱线制成的 3D 经纱互锁织物的不同层设计了适合女性乳房的防弹衣。在促进防弹衣适应身体的可成形性标准和弹道冲击中的动能吸收之间找到了折衷方案，这往往使钝器损伤标准最小化。对于硬保护，发现了一种新的车辆上装甲，可以保护内部免受射弹的高速冲击。还发现了一种折衷方案，以优化这种高速冲击中的动能吸收和保护解决方案的动态变形能力，以避免结构损坏并保持装甲解决方案的完整性安全。
