Abstract

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, Ahead of Print.
In the research, the ballistic limit, dynamic response, damage, and energy absorption of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates under high-speed fragment impact were comprehensively investigated. High-...
