Investigation of the Strain Rate Hardening Behaviour of Glass Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Under Blast Loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This work investigates the use of blast loadings and inverse modeling for the identification of the strain rate hardening model parameters of fibre reinforced polymers. An experimental setup allowing the generation of known and predictable blast waves, leading to repeatable dynamic response in composite plates and the measurement of the displacement and strain fields, is developed. The dynamic response of the plates is measured by means of ...
