The strain-rate effect of engineering materials and its unified model

The test data of metals, brittle materials and polymers in high, medium and low strain-rate range were summarized. It was found that the dynamic strength or yield stress of these materials was not sensitive to strain-rate in the low and high strain-rate range (corresponding to weak sensitivity area...
