Experimental study on ballistic resistance of sandwich panel protection structure with kenaf foam as a core material against small arm bullet

This project is about an experimental impact resistance and behaviour of sandwich panel structure, consists of steel plates and kenaf foam. The use of natural fiber reinforcement foam could give a great advantages in weigh reduction which very useful in military mobility and transportability. A stan...
