Computed Tomography analysis of damage in composites subjected to impact loading [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2011 The composites, used in the transportation engineering, include different classes with a wide range of materials and properties within each type. The following different typologies of composites have been investigated: laminated composites, PVC foam ...

Centrifuge impact cratering experiments: Scaling laws for non-porous targets [PDF]
A geotechnical centrifuge was used to investigate large body impacts onto planetary surfaces. At elevated gravity, it is possible to match various dimensionless similarity parameters which were shown to govern large scale impacts.

Proposed Earth based cratering experiments at low G in hard vacuum [PDF]
In order to address the question of whether the cratering scale which was developed can be extrapolated to low velocity (of planetesimals appropriate for conditions during accretion of the planets and the impact mechanics of encounters of both asteroids ...
