Low-velocity impact behaviour of sandwich panels with homogeneous and stepwise graded foam cores

The dynamic responses of sandwich panels with homogeneous and stepwise graded aluminium foam cores subjected to impact loadings were investigated via experimentation and finite element simulation in this paper. The low-velocity impact tests were conducted using a drop-weight impact facility at four...
