Abstract
This project aims to study the behaviour of pressurized shells under transverse impact of a mass. The shells are made of a polimeric material with the inclusion of nano-particles which enhance its impact strength. The experimental data will compared with a finite element simulation based on the programme EXPID, under development for a FAPESP project. (AU)
