Fibre-based polymer composites are used in applications were there is the risk of an
explosive blast. This paper presents a comprehensive review of published research into the …

Polymer-based sandwich composites have found increasing applications in the marine
industry, where they are at an ever-increasing risk of encountering high-intensity underwater …

Metallic sandwich panels with a cellular core such as honeycomb have the capability of
dissipating considerable energy by large plastic deformation under impact/blast loading. To …

This two-part article examines the behaviour of aluminium alloy–glass fibre-reinforced
polypropylene-based fibre–metal laminates (FMLs) subjected to localised explosive blast …

An experimental investigation is presented into the explosive blast response of fibre-
reinforced polymer laminates used in naval ship structures. Blast tests using plastic …

The effect of shock loading on three-dimensional (3-D) woven composite materials has been
experimentally studied. The preform materials used in this work, known under trademark …

This paper investigates the blast response of fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) manufactured
from two glass fibre reinforced polypropylene composites and that of a plain aluminium …
