Experimental and Modeling Study on High Velocity Penetration of a Carbon/Epoxy Composite Laminate

Abstract:

In many structural applications, such as marine, aircraft and so on, structures are designed to withstand high impact loading, because they may be subjected to impact of the projectiles with high velocity [1,2] . Fabrics become good choice to resist impact of ballistic [3] because of light weight and high specific strength .
