Experimental investigations on the effects of projectile hardness on the impact response of fibre-reinforced composite laminates

This paper presents a detailed experimental investigation on the effects of projectile hardness on the behaviour of thermoplastic composites under impact loading. In this research, gas-gun experiments employ gelatine and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) projectiles, of the same mass and diameter, to...
