Fiber hybrid is a promising strategy for improving ballistic penetration behaviors of fiber-
reinforced laminated composites. Ballistic impact performance of hybrid fiber laminates …

Fiber reinforced composite sandwich structures have wide applications in reducing the
weight of high-speed aircrafts due to their processibility and high specific performance. It is …

Composites are increasingly preferred in industrial, medical, and sporting applications due
to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, thermal, and physical properties, as well as their …

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber reinforced composite laminates
have been widely used to defend against projectiles and fragments. Although the ballistic …

Hybrid composites incorporate different types of fibers and combine the benefits of different
material properties for increasing the ballistic efficiency. Here, ballistic penetration behaviors …

Recently, UHMWPE fabric and composites have gained attraction in ballistics due to their
impressive strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance. This article provides a critical …

Previous studies on low-velocity impact of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites mainly
focused on single-location impact (including single and multiple), while completely ignoring …

The impact response of aramid Twaron CT709 fabrics thinly coated with a commercially
available spray-on rubber material has been studied for the first time. Both neat and rubber …

The ballistic performances of three ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
textile structures (2D braided, 2D triaxial braided and 3D orthogonal woven) are studied …
