EFFECT OF STRAIN RATE ON THE TENSILE FAILURE OF WOVEN REINFORCED POLYESTER RESIN COMPOSITES

L. Welsh , J. Harding

Tensile stress-strain curves are obtained at strain rates of ~10-4, ~10 and ~1000/s for carbon, Kevlar and glass fibre woven-reinforced polyester resin composites and the variation of modulus, tensile strength and fracture strain with strain rate is determined. A change in the failure mode at the highest strain rates is observed for the glass but not the carbon or Kevlar reinforced composites.
