Post-impact fatigue damage growth in fiber?metal laminates

On the applicability of simple shapes of delaminations in buckling analyses

“…Since similar shapes of impact induced delaminations were presented in other studies, e.g. in [18][19][20][24][25][26], it could be expected that the outcomes of the present study could have broad applicability. However, it must be noted that also peanut shaped delaminations or delaminations with highly irregular shapes were reported in literature, e.g.…”

Experimental and numerical study of the ballistic performance of steel fibre-reinforced explosively welded targets impacted by a spherical fragment

“…Fibre spacing density is another important factor that affects the anti-penetration performance of the target [17,18]. The numerical and experimental V 50 values are given in Fig.…”

“…[13e16], as well as the influence of fibre volume fraction and direction [17,18] on the anti-penetration performance. Some theoretical models have been proposed to analyse the penetration process and energy dissipation of fibre-reinforced composite targets [19e21].…”

The mechanical behavior of GLARE laminates for aircraft structures

“…Table V shows the post-impact fatigue test results of GLARE and aluminum 2024-T3. 63 Although the crack initiation time in aluminum is much longer, the crack propagates through the thickness rapidly, which results in a catastrophically premature failure. Compression after impact tests revealed that the reduction of compressive strength due to impact for GLARE is similar to 2024-T3.…”
