Influence of fabric structure and thickness on the ballistic impact behavior of Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composite laminate

Ballistic impact velocity response of carbon fibre reinforced aluminium alloy laminates for aero-engine

“…On the other hand, for samples after the fire test, CF+AA has 75.0% and 36.6% greater impact strength than CAFRALL and CARALL, respectively. The result for CARALL shows that alternating layers of the composites causes delamination between the inner layers, as reflected by less travelling distance of the projectile in the sample that indicates less surface energy dissipation [37,38]. Similar result has also been observed in Ref.…”

Behavior of E-glass composite laminates under ballistic impact

“…9 shows photographs of the cross section of laminates having different thicknesses subjected to an impact velocity of 700 ± 15 m s −1 . The failure modes like shear cutting, matrix cracking, tensile failure and delamination can be seen here as reported in earlier studies [19]. Arrow mark on the figure shows the impact direction.…”

“…8 [19]. The damage in thin laminates is in the form of cone and opening towards the target's exit side.…”

Ballistic Impact Resistance of Plain Woven Kenaf/Aramid Reinforced Polyvinyl Butyral Laminated Hybrid Composite

“…The low values of ballistic limit in H3A hybrid composites compared to the H3 hybrid, which consisted of the same number of kenaf layers, denoted the negative effect of the alternative arrangement. This result can be explained by the fact that an alternating arrangement led to delamination between the inner surfaces, presenting less traveling distance for the projectile within the target (Zhang et al 2014). As a result of less travel distance, there was less surface for energy dissipation (Sabet et al 2009).…”
