Low-Velocity Impact Response of Biaxial Glass-Fiber Fabric Composites: Influence of Fabric Layer Number Under Progressively Increasing Impact Energy
Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites are of interest for lightweight structural applications, including marine structures, where accidental low-velocity impact is an important design consideration. This study investigates the low-velocity impact response of polyester-matrix composites reinforced with 4 layers, 6 l...
