The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

At present, the progress of wire-mesh-reinforced composite (WMRC) is significant with the
development of automobile and aircraft products. The research in the field of WM-reinforced …

Coating polyurea can significantly enhance the blast and impact resistance of thin-walled
metal structures. However, most current research focuses only on the condition of single …

In this study, the effect of multi-layering in sandwich panel composite structures with different
configurations of corrugated cores under the effect of quasi-static indentation loading is …

This work compares the low velocity impact (LVI) behavior of conventional fiber metal
laminate (FML) with hybrid fiber metal laminates (H-FML) that include an elastomer layer …

The impact response of aramid Twaron CT709 fabrics thinly coated with a commercially
available spray-on rubber material has been studied for the first time. Both neat and rubber …

Laser-induced micro-projectile impact testing (LIPIT) is a useful experimental method for
exploring the dynamic behavior of materials at microscale. It has been a key issue to obtain …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites are widely used in aircraft and
automotive industries due to their extremely high specific strength and stiffness. High …

The present study aims to investigate the effect of incorporating different fibers in an
elastomeric media on its mechanical and energy absorption characteristics. To this end …

Monolithic materials hardly fulfill the high requirements of new products. Elastomer materials
mixed with metal and carbon-fiber-reinforcement polymer (CFRP) are expected to reach …
