Ballistic impact behavior of woven ceramic fabric reinforced metal matrix composites

Static and dynamic properties of sisal fiber polyester composites – Effect of interlaminar fiber orientation

“…Variation in impact strength by fiber orientation has been reported for glass fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites (Alam et al 2010). The importance of the effect of fiber orientations to the mechanical properties of hybrid composites, as well as for ballistic resistant application (McWilliams et al 2015) was also observed.…”

Conventional and Advanced Composites in Aerospace Industry: Technologies Revisited

“…Aluminum, magnesium and titanium are the most common matrices used in aerospace industries as an MMC matrix or as an alloy. Mechanical properties of MMCs such as elasticity, tensile strength and strain can be adjusted to the requirement of the design for any specific design by varying the ratio of the metal to the ceramic components of the composite [32]. However, due to various operational and maintenance requirements of the industry, many other properties such as thermal, electrical acoustic etc.…”

Differences of transverse impact damages in 3D angle-interlock woven composites between warp and weft directions

“…So far, the impact damage behaviors of 3D woven composite panel were reported in testing such as drop-weight tests (Bandaru et al., 2016; Hart et al., 2017)? ballistic tests (McWilliams et al., 2015; Turner et al., 2018), and dynamic compressive loading (Arbaoui et al., 2016; Bandaru et al., 2017b; Liu et al., 2017; Lu et al., 2018). However, multiple impact will occur when the mass of projectile is not small compared to the target (Park et al., 2000).…”

“…(2012) employed a homogeneous model for simulating low-velocity impact damage; Bandaru et al. (2015, 2016) and McWilliams et al. (2015) numerically investigated the ballistic impact damage of composite materials at continuum assumptions.…”
