Abstract
An encapsulated ballistic structure for limiting the transfer of impact force from a projectile. An encapsulant substantially encases and confines a core material. The core material absorbs a part of the compressive stress of a projectile impact. The encapsulant absorbs a part of the tensile stress of a projectile impact. The encapsulant is fabricated from an organic compound having a greater tensile strength than the tensile strength of the core material.
