The Low Velocity Impact Response of Foam Core Sandwich Panels with a Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Face-Sheet

Most foam core sandwich panels are sensitive to the impact load because of the poor toughness of thin composite face-sheets and the low strength of foam core. Superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires have been applied to enhance the impact damage resistance of composite laminates in recent decade...
