Abstract: An impact resistant composite metal structure (IRCMS) loaded by static and dynamic loads has high-strength reinforcing elements embedded in a ductile base member. The present invention gives an opportunity to utilize plastic property of base members in order to increase impact resistance and strength-to-weight ratio of the composite metal structures. The present invention can be applied to building and bridge construction, automotive industry, mining equipment, ship and plane construction; anywhere a structure works under conditions of substantial dynamical forces.
