Tension behavior of unidirectional glass/epoxy composites under different strain rates
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract By considering wide applications of composite materials, having a proper knowledge of them under dynamic loading is necessary. In order to study the effects of strain rates on the behavior of the materials, special testing machines are needed. Most of the research in this field is focused on applying real loading and gripping boundary conditions on the testing specimens. In this study, behavior of unidirectional glass fiber reinforced polymeric composites under uni-axial loading is determined at quasi-static and intermediate strain rates of 0.001–100 s−1. The tests were performed using a servo-hydraulic testing apparatus equipped with a strain rate increase mechanism. For performing the tests, a jig and a fixture are designed and manufactured. The performance of the test jig was evaluated and found to be adequate for testing of composites. Dynamic tests results are compared with the results of static tensile tests carried out on specimens with identical geometry. Experimental results show a significant increase of the tensile strength by increasing the strain rate. The tensile modulus and strain to failure are also observed to increase slightly by increasing the strain rate.
