Impact force and structural response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under drop weight
impact have been intensively studied and reported in the literature. The prediction of the …

This paper investigated the low-velocity impact behaviour of innovative 3D printed auxetic
composite panels experimentally. The panel consisted of glass fibre reinforced polymer …

Soft body impacts, namely hail or birds, are a serious and inevitable threat for the integrity of
aircrafts, automobiles and trains windshield, wind towers nacelles, photovoltaic panels …

This paper is concerned with the peak force (F p) and time of occurrence (T p) generated by
the spherical ice specimen impacting onto a rigid target. The ice specimens had diameter …

The study presented in this paper deals with failure prediction of a thermally toughened
glass panel caused by impact of ice. Ultimate failure was found from the study to be …

In this paper, high-velocity impact resistance of lightweight laminates with multi-layers of
carbon-fibre/epoxy laminates sandwiched by two titanium alloy skins and aluminium alloy …

An analytical model for predicting flexural strains on a toughened glass panel generated by
the impact of ice is presented in this paper. The time-history of the generated surface tensile …

Hail impact on structures such as building envelopes and vehicles can cause huge
economic loss every year. Numerical simulation of the hail impact process is crucial for the …

Hail is one of the leading causes of annual property damage, that in turn results in economic
loss and material waste. The associated risk affects several industries and parties including …

The contact forcing function (of time) generated by the impact of hailstone is crucial to
reliable predictions of damage to cladding and glazing panels. This article aims to present …
