Auxetics are a class of structural metamaterials with a negative Poisson's ratio. In
comparison to conventional structures, auxetic structures are proven to exhibit several …

Modelling of impacts on fibre-metal laminates requires understanding the interaction
between the composite and metal layers. From the many parameters that affect the laminate …

The high velocity impact of solid bodies has attracted a large amount of research over the
past century by both military and civil engineers. These impacts, at hundreds to thousands of …

Civil and military ballistic protection systems often consist of thin, high-strength steel plates.
Such plates may either be monolithic or layered with or without spacing. The idea of using …

The impact response of sandwich panels is not only dependent on the facesheet but also on
the core material. This paper compares the dynamic response of sandwich panels with …

An innovative auxetic-cored sandwich panel (AXP) is proposed. Its perforation resistant
performance under high-velocity projectile impact was numerically analyzed using the …

The aim of the present paper is to study the effect of shapes of projectile nose on the ballistic
resistance of 6061-T651 aluminum alloy thin plates, and to evaluate the effect of Lode angle …

A combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental approach is adopted to systematically
characterize the plastic deformation and ductile fracture behaviors of L907A low-alloy ship …

This paper is a study of impact damage for composite material. The damage of composite …

The dynamic perforation of 3 mm thick target plates extracted from ultra-high strength steel
(Mars® 300) is investigated experimentally and computationally. Projectiles of 8 mm …
