The high strain rate tension behaviour of pseudo-ductile high performance thin ply composites (2019)
Journal Article
Fotouhi, M., Fuller, J., Longana, M., Jalalvand, M., & Wisnom, M. R. (2019). The high strain rate tension behaviour of pseudo-ductile high performance thin ply composites. Composite Structures, 215, 365-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.02.068

In this study the effect of strain rate in tension on two different types of thin-ply pseudo-ductile laminates is reported. These comprised Unidirectional (UD) and quasi-isotropic (QI) hybrids made from low strain thin-ply carbon/epoxy and high strai...
