Limited knowledge about foam projectile impact in 2001 has caused 7 astronauts to lose their lives in the Columbia Space Shuttle accident. Since then, a novel area of study related to foam projectile threats towards structures emerged. In 2009, The School of Engineering at SUT explored into this area by offering the PhD project under supervision of Associate Professor Dr. Tracy Dong Ruan and Professor Gouxing Lu. Outcomes from this research include insight deformation of structures upon impact of foam projectile, relationship between the foam projectile and the target and crucial design consideration to withstand impact of foam projectile.
