Scale Effects on the Ballistic Penetration of Graphene Sheets

Abstract Carbon nanostructures are promising ballistic protection materials, due to their low density and excellent mechanical properties. Recent experimental and computational investigations on the behavior of graphene under impact conditions revealed exceptional energy absorption properties as wel...
