Elastomeric coatings are being advocated as excellent retrofit materials for strategic
applications, particularly for blast mitigation and ballistic protection. Polyurea, an elastomer …

In this overview of steel-based composites, consideration is given to conventional metal-
matrix composites, in which steel is combined with another metal, ceramic, or polymer. In …

Experiments have shown that the ballistic performance of the steel plate improves
significantly after coating polyurea at the impact face. However, the strengthening …

Elastomeric coatings have been found to substantially increase the ballistic limit of
underlying steel substrates, with an important mechanism being the impact-induced …

Many studies have shown that the outstanding mechanical properties of surface nano-
crystallized (SNC) materials were primarily attributed to the grain size gradient (GSG) region …

How polyurea coating affects the shock resistance of fully-clamped metallic corrugated core
sandwich panels against high-velocity aluminum foam projectile impact is systematically …

We summarize the results of the response of monolithic steel plates and steel-polyurea
bilayer plates to impulsive blast loads produced in direct pressure-pulse experiments …

Polyurea was compounded with ammonium polyphosphate and expandable graphite and
the morphology was studied by atomic force microscopy. The thermal degradation of …

The effect of structural configuration on air blast resistance of polyurea-coated composite
steel (PCCS) plates was experimentally evaluated. Four types of PCCS plates with identical …

Experimental and numerical studies on the response of polyurea coated steel plates to low
velocity impact of a cylindrical hammer are presented in this paper. Low carbon steel plates …
