Purpose The properties of materials under impact load are introduced in terms of metal,
nonmetallic materials and composite materials. And the application of impact load research …

This review examines high-performance advanced composites (HPACs) for lightweight, high-
strength, and multi-functional applications. Fiber-reinforced composites, particularly those …

The performance degradation of composite materials under fatigue loading is so complex
that the present knowledge is far from complete. This study aims to present a pair of residual …

The sandwich pipe (SP) is capable of submarine applications to adapt the deepwater harsh
environments for the excellent thermal insulation and structural strength. Due to the absence …

The boundary condition is a very important factor when characterizing the impact
performance of a material or a structure. However, its effect on fiber metal laminate (FML) …

Novel materials such as fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) have demonstrated significant
potential in a variety of applications. They must contend with problems such fatigue, creep …

Composite materials have a myriad of applications in complex engineering systems, and
multiple structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies have been developed. However …

In the present study, a buckling analysis of laminated composite rectangular plates
reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) inclusions is carried out using the …

This paper deals with detection of macro-level crack type damage in rectangular E-Glass
fiber/Epoxy resin (LY556) laminated composite plates using modal analysis. Composite …

Bird-strike failure of fan blades is one of the basic challenges for the safety of aircraft
engines. Simplified flat blade-like plates are always used for damage mechanism study of …
