The review outlines modern trends in theoretical developments, novel designs and modern
applications of sandwich structures. The most recent work published at the time of writing of …

Fibre-based polymer composites are used in applications were there is the risk of an
explosive blast. This paper presents a comprehensive review of published research into the …

High velocity impact and shock or blast responses are a critical design characteristic
determining sizing of composite parts and, ultimately, weight savings. This study …

Composites materials and structures are increasingly used to replace conventional
materials in civilian and defence-related maritime transportation and infrastructure such as …

This review aims to assess publications relevant to understanding the rate-dependent
dynamic behaviour of glass-and carbon-fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). FRPs …

Polymer-based sandwich composites have found increasing applications in the marine
industry, where they are at an ever-increasing risk of encountering high-intensity underwater …

Graded cellular materials with a proper design may simulate blast loading and can be
applied to test the anti-blast performance of protective structures. A multiscale design …

Synergetic damage under combined blast and fragment loading drives innovational design
of protective structures. In present study, sandwich panel with armored hybrid core was …

An experimental investigation is presented into the explosive blast response of fibre-
reinforced polymer laminates used in naval ship structures. Blast tests using plastic …

The load-carrying capacity of composite structures under water-based impulsive loads is
evaluated in relation to different core materials and load intensity. The analysis focuses on …
