The Impact Response of Composite Materials Involved in Helicopter Vulnerability Assessment: Literature Review - Part 1

Abstract

The present review aims at a provision of scientific support to the introduction of the Tiger ARH (Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter) into service. The review examines more than five hundred recent publications on the impact response of composite and cellular materials which are constituents of modern air platforms, specifically, helicopters. Using the ARH in an operational environment makes ballistic damage assessment an important issue. This review focuses on the factors of material response associated with structure vulnerability, such as damage resistance and damage tolerance.
