Impact response of composite structures to rigid and flexible projectiles

Numerical schemes are developed to study the impact response of composite structures to rigid (spherical masses) and flexible (uniform and nonuniform bars) projectiles. In the first phase of this study the impact response of imperfect ]aminated cylindrical panels to rigid projectiles is investigated...
