High strain rate behavior of woven fabric composites under compressive loading

Analysis of strain rate sensitivity of carbon/epoxy woven composites

“…There is no experimental data available for these loading conditions, and hence no comparison is possible. Nevertheless Naik et al [29] presented similar results for a carbon/epoxy woven laminate made from T300 fibres and LY556 epoxy, in which a value of 400 MPa was found for a strain rate of 1000 s À1 , which is a little lower than the value found here but of the same order of magnitude, given a different composite system.…”

“…Further details about high strain-rate behaviour of plain weave E-glass/epoxy are available in Ref. [53].…”

Analytical and experimental studies on mechanical behavior of composites under high strain rate compressive loading

“…It can be noted that the strain rates achieved, in most of the studies, are up to 2000 s À1 . There are only a few studies which report strain rates up to about 3000 s À1 [2,3,31]. But for the effective design of composite structures for ballistic impact applications, composite material behavior is necessary at higher strain rates than 2000 s À1 .…”

“…There are typical studies on split Hopkinson pressure bar testing technique [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. In some of our recent studies on WF composites [31][32][33] and epoxy resin [34,35], the strain rate was up to 2000 s À1 . Wang et al [36] presented an analytical method for assessing strain rate sensitivity of unidirectional composite laminates.…”
