THE INFLUENCE OF STRAIN RATE AND STACKING SEQUENCE ON COMPRESSIVE BEHAVIORS OF WOVEN FABRIC REINFORCED COMPOSITE LAMINATE

摘要

Fiber reinforced composite laminates are finding increasing applications in various engineering fields, such as aerospace, automotive and military, because of their low density, high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. The mechanical response and failure modes of fiber reinforced composite laminates under dynamic loads are inherently more complex due to a multitude of factors such as: impact velocity, loading direction, fiber orientation, woven architecture, stacking sequence etc. Therefore, it is needed to investigate the effect of these factors on their mechanical behavior.
