  • The dynamic behaviour of a modified polyurethane resin 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Stennett, C.; Cooper, G.; Cleave, R. (2011-06-15)
    The dynamic response of both a pure and nano-reinforced polyurethane replacement resin (PRR) have been investigated using plate impact techniques. Similar U-P-U- S Hugoniot equations of state have been established for ...
  • The effect of specimen thickness on the shock propagation along the in-fibre direction of an aerospace-grade CFRP laminate 
    Hazell, P. J.; Stennett, C.; Cooper, G. (Elsevier, 2009-02)
    In-fibre measurements of the Hugoniot have been carried out on a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composite. For this material, we have shown at high shock stresses, a two component wave was formed consisting of a fast ...
  • Normal and oblique penetration of woven CFRP laminates by a high velocity steel sphere 
    Hazell, P. J.; Kister, G.; Stennett, C.; Bourque, P.; Cooper, G. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2008-05-31)
    In this research, two thicknesses of a woven CFRP laminate have been subjected to impact by a steel sphere in a velocity regime ranging from 170 to 374 m/s. Impact and penetration of targets at normal and oblique incidence ...
  • The shock and release behavior of an aerospace-grade cured aromatic amine epoxy resin 
    Hazell, P. J.; Stennett, C.; Cooper, G. (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2008-06-20)
    Knowing the dynamic behavior of polymer materials that are used in the construction of fiber-reinforced composite materials is particularly important for such materials that are subjected to impact. In this work, we have ...
  • Shock propagation in a cemented tungsten carbide 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Stennett, C.; Cooper, G.; Helaar, K.; Diederen, A. M. (American Institute of Physics, 2009-12-31)
    WC-based ceramic metal composites (cermets) are of great importance in both armor and munition design due to the combination of properties imparted by the presence of two different phases. WC–Co cermets are of interest ...
