Analysis of a composite GLARE panel under air blast load

Finite element analysis on the air blast resistance of stiffened cylindrical tubular aluminum panel

Abstract Aluminum sandwich structures are widely used in modern engineering due to their lightweight, high stiffness, and energy absorption capabilities. These structures typically consist of two strong outer face sheets and a lightweight core (e.g., honeycomb, foam, or lattice). When subjected to air blast loads, such as those from explosions, these structures can help absorb […]
Air blast analysis of a composite panel made of CFRP facing and PET foam core

Introduction to Air Blast Analysis of CFRP-PET Foam Composite Panels 1. Background and Importance Composite sandwich structures, typically comprising Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) face sheets and a lightweight core such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) foam, are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, excellent energy absorption, and […]
