The response of polymeric composite structures to air-blast loading: a state-of-the-art

摘要: Composite materials are finding use in an increasing number of structural applications as a result their high specific strength, stiffness, thermal resistance and the potential for tailoring properties to suit applications. Fibre-reinforced composites, foam core sandwich panels fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) examples composite that employed high-performance engineering applications, example yachts, passenger aircraft, racing cars sports equipment. Explosive loading is threat many these structures, therefore improved understanding response such systems air-blast important. This paper reviews recent experimental numerical work on materials, structures hybrid loading. Commonly techniques used simulate conditions described, along with results from experiments plain laminates, polymeric FMLs. The influence distribution, test geometry failure composites discussed. latter part discusses modelling considerations reports methods blast
