Insights into the high-velocity impact behaviour of bio-inspired composite laminates with helicoidal lay-ups

This study explored the impact response of two bio-inspired composite laminates with linear and non-linear helicoidal fibre architectures. The helicoidal laminates, together with quasi-isotropic and cross-ply control samples, were fabricated using heterocyclic aramid fibres and tested against a sphe...
