Polyurethane foam materials have broad application prospects in practical engineering as
flame retardants, waterproof coatings, and grout repair materials due to advantages such as …

The current work is concerned with ageing behaviour of sandwich composites constituted of
E-glass fibre-reinforced vinylester bonded to PVC foam core being in service near the sea …

Experiments were conducted to characterize the mechanical behavior of Divinycell H100
and HCP 30 foams operating in the Arctic, where winter temperatures fall below− 50° C. It …

The behaviour of moisture absorption and evolution of various mechanical properties for the
sandwich composites immersed into two humid conditions: seawater with 30° C (SWL) and …

This paper aims to assess the hygroscopic behaviour of nonstandard size sandwich
composites constituted of thick Electronical-Chemical Resistance (ECR) glass fibre …

For naval applications, composite sandwich structures are of significant interest, and are
often manufactured using thin (2 to 4 mm) composite facings made from carbon or glass …

The moisture diffusion behavior of two-part thermoset polyurethane neat resin, woven E-
glass fiber-reinforced polyurethane face sheet, closed-cell rigid polyurethane foam core and …

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation and modeling the
polymethacrylimide (PMI) solid foam response on slightly non-stationary compressive loads …

Foam core sandwich structures are rather vulnerable against transverse loading which can
leave only barely visible damage in the structures. Environmental conditions can further …

Development of the USS Zumwalt, also known as DDG 1000, has launched a new era of
materials for the US Navy. This ship has used a variety of composites for construction of …
