It can withstand some blast and shrapnel. It would depend on the strength of the detonation.

Kevlar.
Kevlar is a new special synthetic fiber. This fiber does burn, but can withstand extremely high temperatures. After it catches fire, it is quite difficult to extinguish.
Kevlar is a man made organic fibre that it is extremely strong and tough. Indeed, it is up to five times stronger than steel. When submerged in water, Kevlar can become up to 20 times stronger than steel. It can also withstand temperatures up to 300°C while still retaining its strength properties. Even at -196°C, Kevlar shows no signs of loss of strength. Almost all solvents are ineffective at corroding Kevlar except some very powerful acids. Kevlar, however is known to degrade when exposed to UV radiation.

The protective plates, depending on the age of it, will be steel, ceramics, or kevlar.
The tensile strength of some thing is it's ability to withstand pulling. For instance, the polymers of Kevlar are tightly bound therefore it has a high tensile strength because it does not easily pull apart.
