Survivability of marine composites and structures under impact and blast in extreme environments
Abstract
Understand the failure mechanisms of composite materials under low velocity impact at concentrated and distributed loads, also accounting for the influence of different environmental conditions, a basic requirement for the development of light and robust navy structures for safe navigation in the Artic Ocean. The research, focused on both experimental and theoretical work, will develop material and structure concepts useful for the formulation of damage control and mitigation strategies to improve survivability of navy structures in extreme conditions.
