Quasi-static and high strain rate response of Kevlar reinforced thermoplastics

The present study deals with the quasi-static and high strain rate characterization of Kevlar-129 based thermoplastic composites. Two different thermoplastic matrices, namely, Polypropylene (PP) and Polyetherimide (PEI) were used to manufacture composite laminates. Quasi-static compression tests wer...

description The present study deals with the quasi-static and high strain rate characterization of Kevlar-129 based thermoplastic composites. Two different thermoplastic matrices, namely, Polypropylene (PP) and Polyetherimide (PEI) were used to manufacture composite laminates.

High strain rate tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus within the strain rates ranging from 2548 s−1 to 4379 s−1. Stress-strain relations reveals the rate-sensitive behaviour of composites. Kevlar/PP (K-PP) showed higher peak stress under quasi-static loading as compared to the high strain rate test.
