The SHPB tests for GFRP composites subjected to three levels of strain rates

PMC (Polymer Matrix Composites), in addition to static loads, can also be exposed to dynamic loads as a result of impacts. Aircraft or cars are particularly vulnerable to this type of loading, where small objects, e.g. pebbles, sand grains, and metal debris may hit. Such loads can cause cracking or lead to complete damage. Therefore, the paper presents research results for the most commonly used polymer composite reinforced with glass fibers...
