title = "High velocity impact behaviour of hybrid-fiber engineered cementitious composite panels",
abstract = "High-velocity impact behaviour of hybrid-fibre engineered cementitious composite (ECC) panels subjected to an impact from a hardened steel, ogive-nosed projectile at velocities between 300-700 m/s is investigated and reported in this paper. The new ECC mix contains a proportion of 0.75% volume high-modulus steel fibres and 1.25% volume low modulus polyvinylalcohol (PVA) fibres. The mix is designed to achieve a desired balance between the strain hardening behaviour and impact resistance of material required for impact and blast resistant structures. The new hybrid-fibre ECC demonstrates its excellent capability for impact resistance and strong potential as a protective material with reduced impact damage and distributed micro cracking.",
