Low-Velocity Impacts on Targets Containing Embedded Carbon Nanotubes

by J. A. Carmona et al. arXiv.org E-print Archive, 29 Mar 2006 A one stage Light Gas Gun was employed to test the shielding capabilities of tiles composed of four different laminated nanotube combinations. These target tiles were named CSNEAT1, CSCNT1, HYCNTUT1 and HYCNTT1. For calibration purposes, a 3003- aluminum plate was also impacted and the craters formed on the various composition tiles compared. Read more
