A review of the high strain rate behavior of filamentary composite materials is presented. The experimental techniques used for evaluating the dynamic performance of composites are discussed, as well as results obtained by researchers for various types of filamentary composites. Areas of research needed for expanding the information base for composites as well as the testing devices needed to obtain composite test data are chronicled. This review article contains 120 references.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
