Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing penetration-inhibiting materials struggle to balance penetration resistance with trauma absorption, often requiring additional layers or complex orientations that increase material waste and production costs.
Innovation Solution
A penetration-inhibiting material comprising multiple layers with specific thread orientations and binders, where each layer is connected using thermoplastic films or adhesive grids, forming distinct components that enhance both penetration resistance and trauma absorption without excessive material usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If additional layers or complex orientations are added to improve penetration resistance, then penetration resistance is improved, but material waste and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The material is divided into multiple layers with different thread orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) that are segmented into specific groups. Each layer serves a specific function in absorbing different types of impact forces, allowing penetration resistance to be achieved through strategic segmentation rather than simply adding more material layers.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the material have different thread orientations and binder distributions optimized for local stress patterns. The first and second thread groups are oriented in different directions with different binder connections, creating local quality variations that maximize penetration resistance while minimizing overall material usage.
2Strength
If additional layers or complex orientations are added to improve penetration resistance, then penetration resistance is improved, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The material structure is segmented into distinct layers with specific thread orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) and binder patterns that can be manufactured using standardized processes. This segmentation allows for efficient production through repeated modular units rather than complex custom manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The binder serves multiple functions: it connects threads within layers, connects layers to each other, and provides structural integrity across different orientations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components or processes, thereby reducing production complexity and cost.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If more layers are added to improve trauma absorption, then trauma absorption is improved, but material usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The binder connections are strategically placed to connect specific thread groups (first thread group connected to second thread group, third layer connected to fourth layer) rather than uniformly connecting all layers. This localized binding approach maximizes trauma absorption at critical stress points while minimizing overall material usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The material combines threads of different orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) with binder connections at specific angles (±10° to ±70°) to create a composite structure. This composite approach allows trauma absorption to be achieved through the synergistic interaction of differently oriented elements rather than through increased material quantity.
