A preliminary study on translational kinetic energy absorption using coconut-fiber (Coir) sheets as a potential impact-worthy constituent in advanced aerospace material

Known as “coir”, the fibrous husk of the coconut fruit has potential for integration as a constituent in impact-resisting aerospace materials. As a preliminary study, kinetic energy absorption of this natural fiber is studied prior to further testing, for instance; a non-ballistic surface impacted a...
