Strain rate sensitivity of the in-plane mechanical properties of two UHMWPE thin ply composites

Strain rate sensitivity of the in-plane mechanical properties of two UHMWPE thin ply composites

The mechanical characterisation of two recent grades of Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE) fibres composite is proposed. Used in bulletproof vests, they share the same type of fibres, while composed of different matrices (respectively polyurethane and rubber). The in-plane characteris...
