A review of experimental evidence from the literature in relation to “impact fatigue”,“multiple
impacts”, and “repeated impacts” on FRP composites, along with articles discussing …

Recent global terrorism activities and threats imposed prominent danger to the public civil
infrastructure, and thus blast and impact resistance design of structures has become an …

The development of tough, high-strength, high-modulus fibers has led to the use of fabrics
and compliant composite laminates for a number of impact-related applications, such as …

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

The effect of strain rate upon the uniaxial response of Ultra High Molecular-weight
Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres, yarns and laminates of lay-up [0/90] 48 has been measured …

The objective of this experimental study is to obtain a detailed understanding of the effects of
reinforcement geometry on damage progression in woven composite panels under repeated …

Laminated ballistic composite panels are an important part of hard-plate protective body
armour and may be subjected to a wide variety of impact conditions depending on the …

The ballistic performance of clamped circular carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre composite plates of equal areal …

A very simple one-dimensional and fully analytical model of ballistic impact against
ceramic/composite armors is presented in this paper. The analytical model has been …

Measurement of deformation history during a high-speed mechanical test plays an important
