Dynamic failure of sandwich beams with fluid-structure interaction under impact loading

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The objective of this research is to examine the added mass effect that water has on the dynamic response of a sandwich composite under impact, particularly impact leading to failure. Because sandwich composites are much less dense than wat...
