Abstract

The performance of 2D biaxially and triaxially reinforced braided carbon fibre composites under dynamic loading is evaluated in the presented study. The accurate manufacturing of tensile specimen made of braided sleeves is explained particularly with regard to efficiency and reproducibility. In order to determine reliable strain rate dependent properties, the high-speed testing procedure is discussed. Using five materials, the parameter identification is described and relevant material data is provided. The measured stiffnesses and strengths are used to predict the non-linear stress-strain behaviour with an earlier proposed phenomenological damage model for textile composites. The gained orthotropic property-profile provides the input parameters for a numerical analysis of braided composite components using the calibrated model.
