Impact failure modes of graphite epoxy composites with embedded superelastic nitinol
<p>Energy absorption during complete penetration of thin graphite composites is experimentally shown to be significantly improved by low volume fractions of embedded superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers. Graphite/Bismaleimide laminates were embedded with 3% and 6% volume fractions of s...
