Purpose The properties of materials under impact load are introduced in terms of metal,
nonmetallic materials and composite materials. And the application of impact load research …

This work investigates the effects of carbon/glass/basalt hybridization and fabric structure on
the low velocity impact resistance of fibre reinforced plastic composites. Interply hybrid …

This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical
simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage …

Abstract Compression After Impact (CAI) tests are frequently performed to characterize the
effect of impact damage on strength of composites. This paper presents an integrated single …

This two-part article scrutinizes the influence of metal layer distribution through the thickness
of titanium-based fiber metal laminates (FMLs) on their high-velocity projectile impact …

Concerns have grown over the increase of nutrients and pollutants discharged into the
estuaries and coastal seas. The retention and export of these materials inside a system …

This study focuses on the axial crushing behavior of double hat-shaped composite tubes
prepared using plain woven fabrics reinforced by carbon fibers, glass fibers and their intra …

Low-velocity impact response of interply hybrid composites based on glass and carbon
woven fabrics as reinforcement and polymerized poly (butylene terephthalate)(PCBT) as …

Alkanes are key components in gasoline, jet and diesel fuels and considerably influence the
combustion behavior of these fuels because of their wide range of reactivity. An improved …

The impact resistance of fibre-reinforced composites is vital in many applications, and can
be improved by exploiting synergies in fibre-hybridisation. These effects are however not …
