Strain rate effects on the dynamic compressive response and the failure behavior of polyester matrix

The dynamic compression behavior of the adhesively bonded composite glass/polyester composite joints at high strain rates was reported earlier by the authors. From this study, it was a question of investigating the dynamic behavior of each component of the adhesively composite joints (adhesive; polymer matrix and the laminate) for a better physical understanding of large deformations in composite assemblies. The results were interpreted here in...
