Inside Hard Armor Plate. PACA Body Armor. The Round Stops Here.

Ceramic plates are designed to stop rifle rounds and armor-piercing rounds which have a penetrating steel pin in the bullet. Plates are engineered by bonding a layer of ceramic to a hard panel made of multiple layers of ballistic material wrapped in a fabric covering.

As the bullet hits the plate, the hard ceramic strike face begins to break up the bullet while the ballistic material begins to absorb the energy of the penetration.

The round continues to break apart as the ballistic material extracts energy, decelerating the projectile and catching the fragments while limiting the effect of blunt trauma, the injury caused by an impacting bullet.

The Kevlar fiber doesn't deflect the bullet, instead it absorbs the energy of the bullet.

Note that the clay revealing that even the Kevlar can not  completely eliminate trauma to the human body, when the bullet strikes. The trick is to eliminate the trauma to the acceptable 

How does soft Body Armor work ??

Protection Against Ballistic Threats
When a bullet or projectile strikes body armor, it is caught in a "web" of high performance fibers that are layered and stitched to exceed certain bullet resistant specifications. The engaged fibers absorb and disperse the impact energy that is transmitted to the vest from the bullet, causing the bullet to deform or "mushroom". Additional energy is absorbed by each successive layer of material in the vest, until such time as the bullet has been stopped. Because the fibers work together in both the individual layer and with other layers of material in the vest, a large area of the garment becomes involved in preventing the bullet from penetrating, as well as dissipating the forces which can cause non-penetrating injuries to internal organs.

Protection Against Blunt Trauma

In testing against a soft clay backstop, a 1.7" (44 mm) deformation is the maximum indication of blunt trauma allowed by The National Institute of Justice (NIJ). As illustrated in Figure 1.2, PACA holds itself to an internal standard that is more stringent than NIJ requirements.
