Abstract:Sandwich composites in marine vessels are frequently exposed to impulsive hydrodynamic loading during operation in extreme environments. The response of sandwich composites to impulsive hydrodynamic loading has yet to be fully investigated due to the lack of full-field, simultaneous measurement techniques. Here, we propose an experimental framework for the study of the dynamic response of sandwich composites to hydrodynamic loading. We focus on a fiber-reinforced plate positioned at the air-water interface sub… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
