EXPERIMENTAL AND FINITE ELEMENT INVESTIGATION OF LOW-VELOCITY IMPACT BEHAVIOUR, EQUIVALENT STRESS AND STRAIN RESPONSE OF Fe2O3-REINFORCED GFRP HONEYCOMB SANDWICH PANELS
Low-velocity impact resistance is an important design requirement for lightweight sandwich structures used in transportation, aerospace, marine and other engineering applications. This study investigates the impact response of GFRP face-sheet, foam-filled honeycomb sandwich panels reinforced with different iron oxide (...
