Journal ArticleDOI
Blast resistance of polyurea based layered composite materials
TL;DR: In this paper, layered and sandwich composite materials, comprising of polyurea (PU) and E-glass vinyl ester (EVE) composite are experimentally evaluated for effective blast resistance using a shock tube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pullout behavior of polypropylene fibers from cementitious matrix
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive experimental investigation was performed to understand the pullout behavior of polypropylene fibers from a cementitious matrix and the effect of exposure to degrading environments, like seawater and salt water, on the interfacial bond between the fibers and cementitious matrices were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
The blast resistance of sandwich composites with stepwise graded cores
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of core configurations, with identical areal density, were subjected to the shock wave loading, and the results showed that configuration 1 outperformed configuration 2 in regards to their blast resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication, characterization, and dynamic behavior of polyester/TiO2 nanocomposites
Victor Évora,Arun Shukla +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nanosized particles on nanocomposite bulk mechanical properties were investigated using a direct ultrasonification method, and the presence of the particles had the greatest effect on fracture toughness; negligible influence was observed in the remaining quasi-static properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blast Mitigation in a Sandwich Composite Using Graded Core and Polyurea Interlayer
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic behavior of two types of sandwich composites made of E-Glass Vinyl-Ester (EVE) facesheets and Corecell™ A-series foam with a polyurea interlayer was studied using a shock tube apparatus.
