Dynamic characterization of fibre reinforced composite (S-Glass) in rigid armoured vehicle / Abd Halim Idris

The advent of high strength and light weight composite materials and newly developed resin materials have radically changed the concepts of advanced space structure and Armoured vehicles [I]. This high strength - to-weight or modulus-to-weight ratios of composites could also result in lighter struct...
