摘　　要：This study is undertaken to explore the use of natural fiber Jute-epoxy(JE),Jute-epoxy-rubber(JRE)sandwich composite for ballistic energy absorption.Energy absorbed and residual velocities for these composites are evaluated analytically and through Finite Element Analysis(FEA).FE analysis of JE plates is carried out for different thicknesses(3,5,10 and 15 mm).JE plates and JRE sandwiches having the same thickness(15 mm) are fabricated and tested to measure residual velocity and energy absorbed.The analytical results are found to agree well with the results of FE analysis with a maximum error of 9%.The study on JE composite plate reveals that thickness influences the energy absorption.Experimental and FE analysis study showed that JRE sandwiches have better energy absorption than JE plates.Energy absorption of a JRE sandwich is about 71% greater than JE plates.Damages obtained from FEA and testing are in good agreement,SEM analysis confirms composites failed by fiber rupture and fragmentation.
