Characterisation of the interlaminar properties of composites at high strain rates: A review
Characterisation of the interlaminar properties of composites at high strain rates: A review
This paper provides a review of the strain rate effect on the through-thickness mechanical properties of fibrereinforced polymer composites. The challenges and limitations associated with existing methods for through-thickness testing are discussed. Specific attention is given to the split Hopkinson pressure bar, and implications of the intrinsic limitations for measuring mechanical properties. The influence of strain rate on elastic modulus, ultimate strength and ultimate strain is
provided for compressive, tensile and shear loading conditions. The review is concluded with a discussion on the direction of future research focussed around full-field imaging techniques

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the strain rate effect on the through-thickness mechanical properties of fibrereinforced polymer composites. The challenges and limitations associated with existing methods for through-thickness testing are discussed. Specific attention is given to the split Hopkinson pressure bar, and implications of the intrinsic limitations for measuring mechanical properties. The influence of strain rate on elastic modulus, ultimate strength and ultimate strain is
provided for compressive, tensile and shear loading conditions. The review is concluded with a discussion on the direction of future research focussed around full-field imaging techniques
