The Failure of Glass-Reinforced Composites Under Dynamic Torsional Loading,

Abstract

Techniques for the jinpact testing of composite materials are briefly discussed. The application of the torsional Hopkinson pressure bar to the study of the dynamic failure of glass-reinforced epoxy-based composites is then described. Torque-twist curves are presented for thin-walled tubular specimens of cross-ply and woven mat reinforced laminates, cut with the specimen
