On the mechanical behaviour of steel wire mesh subjected to low-velocity impact

Woven wire mesh is a metallic fabric outperforming traditional metal sheets in air circulation, weight saving, impact resistance, etc. In this study, the dynamic mechanical response of steel wire mesh subjected to low-velocity impact loading was investigated using both experimental and numerical methods. An instrumented drop-weight impact facility was used for experimental impact tests, with the effects of clamping wire direction, impact energy,...
