AB This paper focuses on the numerical analysis of the ballistic performance of Kevlar ®-29 under impact of different doublenosedstepped cylindrical projectiles. Numerical modelling based on finite element method was carried out in order topredict the failure mode of the target as well as the ballistic limit. A detailed analysis of the ballistic limit, failure mode anddeformation of the targets due to impact of double-nosed projectiles was developed, discussed and compared with thoseinvolved in penetration of single-nosed flat and conical projectiles. Significant influence of the projectile geometry wasdemonstrated: the lowest ballistic limit was obtained with the conical–conical nose shape projectiles.
