Response of Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Specimens to High Rates of Tensile Loading.

Abstract

The objective of this investigation is to establish experimentally the mechanical properties, and the mode of failure of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy plates subjected to high rates of strain (30,000 in/in/min), in the direction of the fibers, on a specially designed impact loading machine propelled by explosives. The results are correlated with those obtained by testing glass, fiber- reinforced epoxy plates subjected to various low rates of strain (0.0265 in/in/min, 0.66 in/in/min and 26.5 in/in/min).
