Impact response of laminated cylindrical shells by Carlos Alexandre Campos Pais Coelho, Fábio V.P. Navalho, P.N.B. Reis

“…In terms of compressive static strength, the Kevlar hybrid shells present values 53.2% higher than the 6C shells, while the glass hybrid shells present values 17.3% lower. The impact analyses shows, regardless the similarity of the maximum loads for all configurations, that Kevlar hybrid shells achieved the highest elastic recuperation and the glass hybrid shells the maximum displacement.…”
