Polyurethane (PU) is one of the largest polymer products in the plastic family. Structural and
non-structural applications of PU and its variants have become a common and effective …

Auxetic structures are a special class of structural components that exhibit a negative
Poisson's ratio (NPR) because of their constituent materials, internal microstructure, or …

This review outlines the evolution of sandwich panels based on recent work and older
sources, focusing on the trends concerning sandwich panel achievements and applications …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Experiments have shown that the ballistic performance of the steel plate improves
significantly after coating polyurea at the impact face. However, the strengthening …

Hybrid composite laminates consisting of woven Kevlar fiber fabric, epoxy and AA 5086-H32
aluminum sheets were produced and the effects of addition of micro and nano-fillers to the …

As composite structures develop, polyurea coating has been applied to improve the
protective performance of multi-layered composite structures subjected to blast or impact …

Experimental studies were conducted to investigate the ballistic resistance of polyurea
coated low carbon alloy steel plates subjected to cubic fragments. In the tests, low-or high …

A novel three-dimensional model was established for analyzing the impact response and
fracture of polyurea-coated aluminum plates using the LS-DYNA finite element code …

Blast and ballistic impacts are high-strain rate events that can cause catastrophic damage to
structures and endanger human lives. Shielding materials play a critical role in mitigating the …
