Abstract
Anti-ballistic systems and methods for making same are described. The anti-ballistic systems may be formed from various materials arranged in a structure, such as a wall structure. For example, an anti-ballistic system may be formed from a metal material, a polymer material, and a stone material. In some embodiments, the metal material may include aluminum (for example, an aluminum composite panel), the polymer material may include ethylene vinyl acetate, and the stone material may include granite. The anti-ballistic wall systems may be configured to be resistant to ballistics, blasts, and/or forced entry.
Claims13
An anti-ballistic, anti-blast, and anti-forced entry system, comprising:
- a plurality of layers arranged in an order comprising:
- a first layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer,
- wherein the first layer contacts a second layer consisting of at least one granite material layer;
- wherein the second layer further contacts a third layer consisting of at least one non-adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate material layer,
- wherein the third layer further contacts a fourth layer consisting of at least one steel material layer;
- and
- wherein the fourth layer further contacts a fifth layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer;
- wherein each of the aluminum composite material layers in the first and fifth layers are formed from a second material arranged between two layers of aluminum.
An anti-ballistic system, comprising:
- a plurality of layers comprising:
- a first energy reducing layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer,
- the first energy reducing layer contacting a second energy reducing layer consisting of at least one granite material layer;
- the second energy reducing layer further contacting a shock absorbing layer consisting of at least one non-adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate material layer,
- the shock absorbing layer further contacting a third energy reducing layer consisting of at least one steel material layer;
- and
- the third energy reducing layer further contacting a fourth energy reducing layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer,
- wherein each of the aluminum composite material layers in the first and fourth energy reducing layers are formed from a second material arranged between two layers of aluminum;
- wherein the layers are held together using a fastening mechanism.
A method of making an anti-ballistic system, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of layers comprising:
- a first layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer,
- wherein the first layer contacts a second layer consisting of at least one granite material layer;
- wherein the second layer further contacts a third layer consisting of at least one non-adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate material layer, and
- wherein the third layer further contacts a fourth layer consisting of at least one steel material layer;
- and
- wherein the fourth layer further contacts a fifth layer consisting of at least one aluminum composite material layer;
- wherein each of the aluminum composite material lavers In the first and fifth layers are formed from a second material arranged between two layers of aluminum.
