Abstract:The objective of this research is to characterize the high strain rate impact performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) impregnated with shear thickening fluid (STF) by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. Three types of FRP with aramid, basalt, and carbon fibers are prepared, followed by impregnated with 15 wt.% STF and 20 wt.% STF to develop FRP composited materials (FRP-STF), respectively. The results demonstrate that STF impregnated significantly enhances the high strain rate impact perfor… Show more
