Mechanical behavior of glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials under high strain rates

ESEM investigations for assessment of damage kinetics of short glass fibre reinforced thermoplastics – Results of in situ tensile tests coupled with acoustic emission analysis

“…More details about the mechanical and fracture mechanical properties in dependence on the glass fibre content of the PP and PB-1 materials can be found in [31]. Furthermore, the strain-rate dependence of the strength of the materials was discussed in detail in [32].…”

Monotonic and cyclic responses of impact polypropylene and continuous glass fiber-reinforced impact polypropylene composites at different strain rates

“…Glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene is one of the most widely used thermoplastic composites for fabricating automotive parts. While the industry has relied on the use of short [2][3] or long discontinuous fibers [4][5], unidirectional (UD) tapes utilizing continuous glass fibers are also an emerging and promising solution. Improved mechanical performance, lighter weight, effective tailoring of laminate lay-up, ease of integration with other structural parts, increased freedom for design complexity, and rapid processing time are the main reasons for the use of continuous glass fiber polypropylene.…”

Modeling quasi-static and high strain rate deformation and failure behavior of a (±45) symmetric E-glass/polyester composite under compressive loading

“…Gary and Zhao [6] investiga ted the compressive impact loading of polymer matrix composites using a so-called anti buckling device to prevent undesirable modes of composite buckling. Several studies also focused on the high strain rate tensile testing of the composites [7][8][9], using a tension SHPB apparatu s and high speed tensile testing machine in the range of $100-1000 s À1 . The strain rate dependent strength of the composites was reported to vary with the testing direction and the fracture mode of the composites was shown to be affected by the strain rate.…”
