They need to combine this with shear thickening fluid body armor, on the inside of the graphene plates. When the force is transferred from the graphene to the fluid, the impact will thicken the fluid into a gel which absorbs the shockwave.
Yep, ya must distribute the transfer of the kinetic energy to a much larger area and increase the amount of time for the energy to transfer to it.
If the material is diamond hard, won’t the force automatically be spread across the material?
In order for force to transfer there needs to be some deformation of the suit. Right?
