During the service of the aircraft, the engine blades are inevitably damaged by the impact of
foreign objects with different properties such as sand particles, which seriously affects the …

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 rudder of an airplane is fabricated as a sandwich panel and can potentially be damaged
by hail ice. The dynamic responses of a CFRP/Nomex sandwich panel with barely any …

Composite laminates subjected to high velocity impacts are usually studied by means of
experimental or numerical approaches. Nevertheless, these techniques are not appropriate …

This work analyses the behaviour of carbon/epoxy unidirectional laminates subjected to
high velocity impacts of ice spheres. To this end, ice projectiles were launched against …

Due to complex mesoscopic and the distinct macroscopic evolution characteristics of ice,
especially for its brittle-to-ductile transition in dynamic response, it is still a challenging task …

This study investigates the low-velocity impact (LVI) response of ice impactor on steel and
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sandwich composite. This research explores the …

Ice impact is quite common and may become critical especially if it involves the
transportation sector. Simulation tools may help in the structural design phase to increase …

Impact induced fragmentation has been extensively studied in mechanical, geotechnical,
aerospace and mining communities due to its direct relevance to a variety of engineering …

In this study, the impact response and damage mechanisms of carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) with and without surface ice are investigated under equal impact energy …
