High-Energy Impact Behaviors of Hybrid Composite Plates Strengthened with 3D-UHMWPE Composites

الملخص EN

This study deals with drop-impact effects of new hybrid concrete plates strengthened with an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).

The proposed 3D-UHMWPE results in excellent mechanical properties such as high abrasion resistance, impact strength, and low coefficient of friction.

These special properties allow the product to be used in several high-performance applications.

In this study, we used two kinds of high-performance materials for the impact reinforcement of a structure made of conventional materials such as a concrete.

In particular, the impact mechanism of a fiber-concrete hybrid structure was studied using various parameters.

The parametric studies are focused on the various effects of drop-impact on the structural performance.

The combined effects of using different fiber-reinforced materials on the impact behavers are also investigated.
