High strain rate out-of-plane compression properties of aramid fabric reinforced polyamide composite

The composite-structure protective systems in head-on collision with objects are largely subjected to dynamic compression load along the thickness of composite structure. A typical plain weave aramid fabric reinforced polyamide (PA) composite, which is defined as one of single polymer composites (SPCs), is addressed in this paper. Firstly, in the process of sample preparation, processing characteristics of the single polymer composites are...
