Abstract

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, Ahead of Print.
To investigate the dynamic damage response of fiber-reinforced polymer composites under explosion load, an improved explosion damage model of FRP was proposed. By introducing the dynamic enhancement factor to characterize the material strengthening at ...
