Development and Characterization of Light Weight Laminated Composite Under Impact Loading
Today, armor protection is one of the most important elements of survivability. So developing materials which can withstand all futuristic threats, including those from terrorism has therefore become very critical. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are attractive materials in this regard because they are lighter, stronger, and stiffer than unreinforced polymers. Along with PMCs, steel and aluminum alloys are also used in light weight armor materials against projectile impact. The laminated composite materials in which different layers of different materials are bonded together are becoming a key material for future lightweight military, marine, and aerospace hardware as they incorporate high hardness and sufficiently high toughness simultaneously. In this study a layered composite panel of steel and aluminum layers has been bonded with graphene reinforced polyurethane. Four types of laminated panels were fabricated with steel facing plate followed by a combination of various aluminum alloy layers. The average weight of a 7-layer laminated composite was 7 lb/ft2 and that of 9-layer laminated composites was 10 lb/ft2. Different tests, such as tensile test, lap shear strength test, and three-point bend test, have been conducted on the fabricated panels to determine their mechanical properties. The composite laminates' bending stiffness was modeled using ABAQUS finite element software and validated by experiments. The effect of a ballistic impact with armor piercing ammunition was also conducted to qualitatively measure their relative resistance to failure under ballistic loading.

Composite materials have aroused a great interest over the last few decades, as proven by the huge number of scientific papers and industrial progress. The increase in the use of composite structures in different engineering practices justify the present international meeting where researches from every part of the globe can share and discuss the recent advancements regarding the use of structural components within advanced applications such as buckling, vibrations, repair, reinforcements, concrete, composite laminated materials and more recent metamaterials. Studies about composite structures are truly multidisciplinary and the given contributions can help other researches and professional engineers in their own field. This Conference is suitable as a reference for engineers and scientists working in the professional field, in the industry and the academia and it gives the possibility to share recent advancements in different engineering practices to the outside world. This book aims to collect selected plenary and key-note lectures of this International Conference. For this reason, the establishment of this 20th edition of International Conference on Composite Structures has appeared appropriate to continue what has been begun during the previous editions. ICCS wants to be an occasion for many researchers from each part of the globe to meet and discuss about the recent advancements regarding the use of composite structures, sandwich panels, nanotechnology, bio-composites, delamination and fracture, experimental methods, manufacturing and other countless topics that have filled many sessions during this conference. As a proof of this event, which has taken place in Paris (France), selected plenary and key-note lectures have been collected in the present book.
