Annotation: The article is based on the previously performed analysis of approaches to modeling the structure of single-layer fabrics and their finite element representation for problems of tissue fracture mechanics. A conclusion is made about the sufficiency of a simplified representation of fabric structure models for assessing its ballistic resistance. The article presents a concept for designing woven flexible barriers or composite armor plates for personal body armor, which are the basis for creating a bulletproof vest. A brief summary of each stage of the proposed concept is presented, the essence of which lies in the digital design of single-layer fabrics of various weaves with various structural parameters, the formation of an armor package from them, its virtual testing to speed up the design process, the manufacture of the armor package and, if successful, its virtual and full-scale testing of the product – a bulletproof vest.
Keywords: personal protective equipment, conceptual approach, design, computer modelling, armour package, ballistic strength, single-layer fabrics
