Innovative Bulletproof Vest Design for Enhanced Comfort and Protection
Light.Flexible.Bulletproof.Vest project aims to address issues with current bulletproof vest designs by creating a ventilated, strong yet flexible material that stiffens on impact. The approach includes simulation, material analysis, and real-life testing to improve user agility, comfort, and reduce blunt force trauma.

Light Flexible Bulletproof Vest Faculty Advisor: Dr. Ortega Course Advisor: Dr. Sarkar Group: Michael J Zapata Alejandro Gomez Eliel Martinez Eric Canales
PROBLEM Bulletproof vests are not comfortable Bulletproof vests are heavy (20-30 lbs) Last year s design did not perform as well as market Bulletproof vests
MARKET STATUS Other 14% Total Body Armor Industry revenue : 279 million Law (Year 2015) Enforcement 14% 57 Business (Year 2015) Military 72% Top Companies (U.S.A.) Point Blank Enterprises Inc. owned 26.2% in 2014 Ceradyne Inc. owned 19.2% Average Bulletproof Vest Cost : $600
SOLUTIONS Ventilated Bulletproof vest Use strong flexible materials Use flexible materials that stiffen on impact Spectra 1000 Kevlar KM2
APPROACH Simulate vest reactions after bullet impact using Finite Element Analysis Software Choose appropriate materials that can satisfy our solutions by analyzing their properties Setting up a controlled environment Real life testing
IMPACT This Bulletproof vest design will allow the user to feel more agile and at a more comfortable body temperature Decrease blunt force trauma that an individual may experience
