The effect of reflected stress wave on crack speed in silicon crystal

Damage evolution and failure mechanism of three-dimensional braided composite subjected to varied high strain-rate loadings

“…When the duration of impact load is shorter than the structure’s dynamic response time, the mechanical behavior of composites cannot be analyzed with quasi-static equilibrium, and the propagation process of stress wave must be considered. 11 In this case, the strain rate can significantly influence the mechanical performance of the composite. 12,13 With increasing the strain rate, the yield stress of resin increases, 14 accompanied with the plateau stress 15 and the dynamic compressive strength 16 of the composite increases.…”
