Abstract

In this work we investigated slamming impact damages on symmetric GFRP for high-speed boats’ hulls, and two ways to reduce it, the first one consisting in inserting a Kevlar’s layer, while the second one consists in putting a 3D-printed sacrificial viscoelastic panel on top of the composite. Both the solution showed good reduction in impact damage and in energy absorption, but 3D-printed layers showed a consistent reduction in energy absorption even at higher energy levels.
