High Strain-Rate Compressive Response of Epoxy Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The high strain rate compressive behavior of a bicomponent high performance epoxy resin for advanced composites filled with Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) has been studied on a modified split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) setup under dynamic loading conditions. Dynamic stress-strain plot was obtained for each sample. The results of the study indicated that the plastic of the epoxy composites increased while yield strength decreases slightly with the increase of the content of PAEK powder. In contrast, EP/PAEK-10 composite has the best Compressive properties.
