description <p>Polyamide 6 and its composites are widely used in engineering applications that are exposed to high strain rate deformation. This paper investigates the thermomechanical properties of two polyamide 6 composites, both reinforced with 30&nbsp;wt% short glass fibres, and one of which additionally contains an impact modifier, to provide an understanding of the mechanical response over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures. Compression experiments were performed at rates between 2 and 3000 s<sup>&minus;1</sup>, with high speed optical and infrared cameras to aid interpretation of the rate-dependent failure arising from the formation of adiabatic shear bands. Further high strain rate experiments were performed with ultra-fast X-ray phase-contrast imaging to provide in-situ internal damage evaluation. These data will improve the utilization of these composites and aid in development of advanced thermomechanical models.</p>
