High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of Polyamide 66 and Polyamide 66-Glass Fiber Reinforced

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The effect of glass fiber-reinforcement polymer Polyamide 66 on the uniaxial compressive mechanical response was measured over a wide strain-rate range from quasi-static tests with strain rate of 5×10–3 s–1 to impact tests with strain rate of 2×103 s–1. Dynamic compressive load was applied using a split Hopkinson pressure bar, whereas an electromechanical testing machine was used to carry out quasi-static experiments in displacement control to determine strain-rate sensitivity. The results demonstrate that strain rate significantly influences yield stress, post-yield behavior, and ductility of the two polymers under study. The yield stress experimental data are consistent with thermally activated processes.
