Perforation of sandwich plates with graded hollow sphere cores under impact loading

In this paper, sandwich plates made from 0.8mm 2024 T3 aluminium alloy skin sheets and graded polymeric hollow sphere cores (having various density gradients) are studied. The experiments at 45m/s were performed with an inversed perforation setup using SHPB system. Quasi-static tests using the same...

Description
Summary:In this paper, sandwich plates made from 0.8mm 2024 T3 aluminium alloy skin sheets and graded polymeric hollow sphere cores (having various density gradients) are studied. The experiments at 45m/s were performed with an inversed perforation setup using SHPB system. Quasi-static tests using the same clamping system allow for the rate effect investigation. Numerical simulations are performed in order to get the indispensable local information (which is not experimentally available) to better understand the perforation process.
