Strain rate effect of mode II interlaminar fracture toughness on the impact response of a thermoplastic PEEK composite

Recent advancements in composite production and processing are making thermoplastics a viable option in a wider array of aerospace applications. In particular, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) with thermoplastic resin are believed to have better damage tolerance properties than thermosets. Ho...
