A model for predicting penetration and perforation of FRP laminates by 3-D impactors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amodel is proposed for describing the penetration of a monolithic semi-infinite and finite FRP laminates struck transversely by a rigid projectile with an arbitrary 3-D shape. Relationships for calculating the characteristics of penetration and perforation (ballistic limit velocity, depth of penetration, etc.) are derived. It is showed that some typical problems of optimization of the shape of the impactor for finite-thickness and semi-infinite shield can be reduced to the same variational problem. An advantage of a 3-D conical impactors over conical impactors having the shape of body of revolution is predicted using the suggested model. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, nonlinear behavior of strengthened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) by FRP laminates theoretically and numerically has been investigated. In the first part, a new method, “the composite-plate frame Interaction (C-PFI) method”, has been introduced to predict the shear behavior of the composite steel plate shear wall systems (CSPSWs). In the second part, several models of one-story ...

In this paper, a six-stage interactive model is presented for the perforation of metallic plates using blunt deformable projectiles when plastic wave propagation in both target and projectile is considered. In this analytical model, it is assumed that the projectile and target materials are rigid – plastic linear work hardened. The penetration of the projectile into the target is divided into s...

Using of CFRP carbon sheets because of their high strength, lightness and ease of use have been very expanded in retrofitting concrete members. Including shear walls systems FRP can be used in order to rebuild or maintain the strength of an aged structural member. Repairing, or retrofitting of the intact structural member is conducted to enhance the structural resistance that was deteriorated d...
