The fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used as bullet-proof
materials due to their low specific gravity, high specific strength and stiffness, and excellent …

Modelling of impacts on fibre-metal laminates requires understanding the interaction
between the composite and metal layers. From the many parameters that affect the laminate …

In the present study, both the impact and vibration response characteristics of fiber
reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich plates (FRPSPs) with a foam core (FC) reinforced by …

A progressive quasi-static approach was developed to study the low-velocity impact
response of GLARE fibre-metal laminates. The impacting mass, impact force, and impact …

Dynamical performance of multilayer graphdiyne (MLGDY) with ultra‐low density and
flexible features is investigated using laser‐induced micro‐projectile impact testing (LIPIT) …

The present study proposes an integrated model for prediction of the dynamic behaviors
involving vibration and impact on hybrid fiber metal laminates embedded with a viscoelastic …

A progressive damage model is proposed herein to predict the response and failure of fiber
reinforced plastic laminates subjected to impact loadings. The present model is mainly …

Composite laminates, made of glass/epoxy using compression molding technique, were
subjected to impact loading. The ballistic limit and energy absorption capacity of the …

Crashworthiness is the ability of a structure to withstand a crash event ensuring the safety of
its passengers. The aim of this work is to investigate the damage onset and evolution in a …

In this study, the penetration behaviour of a Mild Steel Cored (MSC) round, 7.62 mm in
diameter and 39 mm in length, commonly known as the AK47 round, was studied since it still …
