Abstract

This chapter discusses the effects of strain rate on failure mechanisms and energy absorption in polymer composites. This chapter starts by introducing the definition of energy absorption, failure mechanisms as well as strain rate. The methods commonly used to determine the effects of the strain rate in polymer composites are also explained. By the end of the chapter, an outline of the main results on the effects of strain rate on failure mechanisms and energy absorption in various types of polymer composites, such as synthetic fiber-reinforced thermoplastic/thermoset composites, natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic/thermoset composites as well as thermoplastic/thermoset-based hybrid composites are presented. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
