Investigation of strain rate sensitivity of polymer matrix composites

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 210-219) === An investigation into high strain rate behaviour of polymer composites was performed by developing a finite element model for a fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) plates impacted at varying strain rates. The work was divided into three facets, fir...
