LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

Polymer matrix composites (PMC) are extensively been used in many engineering
applications. Various natural fibers have emerged as potential replacements to synthetic …

Low-velocity impact (LVI) on continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CoFRTPs) has
been extensively studied with a focus on single material. Impact characteristics and optimal …

A critical review on the factors affecting the impact resistance behaviour of soft body armour
is presented here. The effect of several material and structural parameters of fibrous …

A multiscale progressive damage modelling methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) woven
composites is presented. The proposed methodology is generic and can be implemented in …

In this paper, the impact performance of a novel resin-infused acrylic thermoplastic matrix-
based 3D glass fabric composite (3D-FRC) has been evaluated and compared with …

Damage tolerance of a unique resin-infused thermoplastic (Elium) 3D fibre-reinforced
composite (3D-FRC) is compared with the conventional resin-infused thermoset (Epoxy) 3D …

This work aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inter-ply/intra-tow hybridization in 3D woven
composites to achieve an ameliorated impact and flexural performance. In this regard, inter …

In the present study, an attempt is made to improve the ballistic performance of
unidirectional (UD) ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWP) fabrics through …

This review paper provides a thorough overview of current knowledge regarding how
natural fiber composite materials react to Low-Velocity Impacts. It highlights the key things …
