Strain wave propagation velocity in fibre materials is a primary consideration in the design of body armours for ballistic protection. In this paper, we compare the strain wave propagation (sonic) velocities and moduli of parallel and twisted ballistic fibre strands (yarns) derived from quasi-static tensile test and strain wave pulse test.
