A numerical study on the impact behavior of foam-cored cylindrical sandwich shells subjected to normal/oblique impact

Abstract Finite element analysis was used to investigate the impact behavior of the foam-cored sandwich shells under the ballistic impact. The ballistic limit, failure mode of the face-sheet and energy absorption of the uniform/graded core were discussed in this paper. Based on the impact phase diag...
