Serration and noise behaviors in plastically deforming solids are related to avalanches of
deformation processes. In the stress-strain curves, the serration characteristics are visible as …

Recent advances in the automated manufacture of composite structures have renewed the
interest in fibre metal laminate (FML) structures in various engineering sectors. FML …

Equivalent sandwich panels composed of auxetic and conventional honeycomb cores and
metal facets are analysed and compared for their resistance performances against impulsive …

In the recent decades, the laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED) of aluminium alloy has
encountered significant challenges owing to the defects and tensile residual stress. In this …

Sandwich panels composed of auxetic cellular cores and metal facets are presented for
blast resistance applications. The performance of this hybrid composite structure under …

In this paper, a sandwich panel composed of two metal face sheets and a three-dimensional
(3D) isotropic foam core with negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) was established via FEM. The …

Sandwich panels with auxetic lattice cores confined between metallic facets are proposed
for localised impact resistance applications. Their performance under localised impact is …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) allows the fabrication of complex geometries with
high resolution and robust mechanical properties. However, the manner of manufacture …

Low, intermediate and high strain rate tensile experiments are carried out on flat smooth,
notched and central-hole tensile specimens extracted from advanced high strength steel …
