Energy absorption characteristics of sandwich structures subjected to low-velocity impact
This dissertation presents experimental, numerical and analytical investigations of sandwich plates subjected to quasi-static loading and low-velocity impact. The objectives of this research are to predict the low-velocity impact response and damage in a sandwich structure, and to characterise the e...
