Recent global terrorism activities and threats imposed prominent danger to the public civil
infrastructure, and thus blast and impact resistance design of structures has become an …

By considering wide applications of composite materials, having a proper knowledge of
them under dynamic loading is necessary. In order to study the effects of strain rates on the …

This paper is a detailed review of the strain rate dependence of some mechanical properties
of polymer composite materials. An attempt is made to present and summarize much of the …

The effect of strain rate on the compressive and shear behavior of carbon/epoxy composite
materials was investigated. Strain rate behavior of composites with fiber waviness was also …

Glass fiber reinforced composite (GFRP) samples were tested at different strain rates from
quasi-static up to 160 s− 1 and temperatures from− 25 to 100° C to investigate any possible …

Unidirectional glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) is tested at four initial strain rates (25,
50, 100 and 200 s− 1) and six temperatures (− 25, 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100° C) on a servo …

Abstract Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) has been becoming more and more
popularly used in structural strengthening and rehabilitation due to its advantages of high …

Composite materials are often subjected to mechanical impact causing delamination. For
quasi-static loading, measuring the mode I fracture toughness has been standardized …

Low-velocity impact tests were performed on fibreglass–aluminium composites made of
2024 T3 sheets and S2-glass/epoxy prepreg layers, using an instrumented falling weight …
