Research on compression properties of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite (UCFREP)

To research the axial compression properties of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite (UCFREP), the compression experiments at different strain rates were carried out by using the MTS universal electronic testing machine and the equipment of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Furthermore, the finite element analysis (FEA) was also used to study the compression properties of UCFREP with different conditions. The true...
