Study of low-velocity impact (LVI) performance of fabric reinforced polymer (FRP)
composites has drawn keen interest from the research community due to its application in …

Detection of damage due to impact in an isotropic structure like metal, its alloys, etc. is an
easy task but in the case of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite structures, it becomes …

This work presents an experimental demonstration of the significant improvement in the
damage resistance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) Kevlar sandwich composite …

Body armors are generally made of several layers of para-aramid fabrics, with Kevlar being
the most popular among them. While Kevlar has high strength to weight ratio and sufficient …

The high mechanical performance of filament wound hybrid composite pipes can be
adversely affected by their low resistance to accidental impact. Loads of dynamic origin are …

Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (LFT) is a lightweight, high-strength, and easy-to-
recycle new vehicle composite material, and has good mechanical properties, heat …

Quasi-static punching tests and low-velocity impact tests have been conducted to examine
the plastic response and failure of clamped rectangular steel plates struck by hemispherical …

In this study, polyamide fibers, which stand out with their excellent plastic deformation and
energy absorption capacity, were used as reinforcement materials, and in‐house …

Natural fibers are fostered to replace traditional fibers in long-fiber composites due to their
reduced environmental impact. While carbon fibers compete on a league on their own …

In order to control the adverse effect of vehicles overloading infrastructure and traffic safety,
weight-in-motion (WIM)-related research has drawn growing attention. To address the high …
