Abstract:The spall strength of a material can be used to parameterize its ability to resist tensile failure under high-strain-rate loading. Dynamic failure in an assortment of representative materials was studied. A focus was placed on characterizing the mechanical properties of a polymer-matrix composite. Load frame testing was carried out to measure mechanical properties at quasi-static strain rates, while plate impact experiments were conducted to examine material response under dynamic loading conditions. Successfu… Show more
