Abstract

Proper integration of shear thickening fluids (STFs) within the cores of advanced composites can enhance energy dissipation through their shear thickening properties. However, designing STFs with strong shear thickening rheological characteristics and increased post-transitional viscosity poses a significant challenge. Another challenge is embodying STFs within the cores of advanced composites. This book chapter primarily focuses on three alternative configurations used to incorporate STFs into the cores of advanced sandwich composite panels. The unique STF-incorporated advanced composite designs were exposed to ballistic impact using 0.380-caliber and 9 mm bullets with average velocities of 150 and 400 m/s, respectively, to quantify the amount of energy dissipation. It was observed that STF-filled SCPs displayed substantially stronger impact resistance to the ballistic impact than hollow SCPs, affirming the viability of SCPs containing STF as a component for enhanced energy absorption.
