Reduced order model of glass plate loaded by low-velocity impact

Size Effect on the Damaged Areas of Glass/Epoxy Structures under Low Velocity Impact

Most impact tests are carried out on specimens with specific stacking sequence and dimensions to meet standard and experimental limitations. The damaged areas and the resulted reduction in the strength values of specimens may not agree very well with those of real application. In this paper an attempt is made to study the variation in the size of damaged areas due to varying the dimension of te...

The Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Glass-Polymer Laminated Plates

A Numerical Study on Aluminum Plate Response under Low Velocity Impact

In the present paper, a numerical study is performed to investigate the response of different plates aluminum alloys subjected to low velocity impact condition. In this regard, the square AA5083-H116 aluminum plates with dimensions 300×300 and 3 mm and 5 mm thick under low velocity impact are modelled, and a mesh convergence study is carried out to decide the appropriate number of elements. In ...

Fragmentation of ice by low velocity impact

Low velocity impact experiments (0.14 to l km/ s) carried out in polycrystalline water ice targets at 257 and 81 K resulted in interactions which can be assigned to four fragmentation classes, cratering, erosion, disruption, and total fragmentation. Specific kinetic energies for the transitions between these classes range from l x 105 to 7 x 105 ergs/g for 81 K ice and from 3 x 105 to 2 x 106 e...
