Abstract

Description

The objective of his research are to impact composite wall systems with a 2x$ timber in order to: 1. Designate for each configuration the response of the composite wall sections with respect to failure modes, material response, structural response, and the configurations response classification. 2. Determine the missile perforation thresholds of several different composite wall sections. 3.Determine the perforation threshold of multiple layers of plywood with different weight missiles and correlate the kinetic energy of the missiles.
