Abstract
A ballistic protection arrangement for vehicles, in particular for rail vehicles chassis, with at least one first wheelset which has a first wheel, a second wheel and a wheelset shaft, wherein in order to provide advantageous construction conditions, a shell includes at least one first material layer, which includes a first fibre material, arranged around the wheelset shaft such that the wheelset shaft is advantageously protected from damage, for example, due to stone impacts at particularly high travelling speeds and at particularly low temperatures, where the first fibre material of the first material layer brings about high absorption of energy with the protection arrangement while, at the same time, having a low mass.
Claims16
A ballistic protection arrangement for a vehicle chassis, comprising:
- at least one first wheelset which comprises a first wheel, a second wheel and a wheelset shaft;
- and
- a shell comprising at least one inner first material layer having a first fiber material which is arrangeable round the wheelset shaft;
- wherein the shell comprises an outer second material layer;
- wherein the first material layer is pressed together with the second material layer;
- wherein the first fiber material of the at least one inner first material layer comprises polyethylene;
- wherein the outer second material layer is made of a metallic material;
- and
- wherein the ballistic protection arrangement is configured in a pliable manner and, based on the outer second material layer, has a high level of tensile strength.
