The damage of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite materials induced by impact load
is one of the most critical factors that restrict extensive use of these materials. The behavior …

This paper is a review of low-velocity impact responses of composite materials. First the term
'low-velocity impact'is defined and major impact-induced damage modes are described from …

Impact damage in structures made out of composite materials is a major concern since such
damage can be introduced during the life of the structure, and its mechanical properties can …

This paper reviews recent research into the penetration and perforation of plates and
cylinders by free-flying projectiles travelling at sub-ordnance velocities. It is shown that over …

This work deals with the characterization of composite material suitable for constructing
structural parts devoted to dissipate kinetic energy during impacts. In particular glass-fiber …

Impact duration strongly influences the impact response of plates. Long impacts cause a
quasi-static response influenced by the plate size and boundary conditions. Short impacts …

As the application of fibre-reinforced polymer composite material continue to increase day
by day, so the knowledge about the impact behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymer composite …

The problem of impact damage in laminated composite structures, and the consequent
reduction in residual strength, has been a topic of continual research for over two decades …

The main aim of this review article was to address the performance of filament wound fibre
reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pipes and their critical properties, such as burst …

This contribution is a review of past and current research progress on dynamic response of
composites sandwich structures subjected to low-velocity impact. To obtain a …
