Experimental study of glass-fiber mat thermoplastic material impact properties and lightweight automobile body analysis

With the development of automobile technology, more and more light-weight materials are applied to automobile body. Glass mat thermoplastic (GMT) material is a promising material that has good mechanical strength, impact energy absorbing capacity and recuperability. It is more and more used in automobile body for the purpose of lightweighting and environmental protection. In this paper, the high strain rate mechanical property of one GMT...
