Tests were conducted on composites reinforced with woven or Uni-Directional (UD) fabrics made from aramid or ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene as well as on composites reinforced with hybrid reinforcement. The strain rate is varied in the tests by changing the projectile shooting pressure. Four different pressures 2, 4, 6 and 8 bar were selected to change the strain rate. Stress-strain and energy absorption behaviour of eight type of samples were noted. Hybrid samples showed better performance in the energy absorption compared with other samples.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMaterials scienceAramidEnergy absorptionSplit hopkinson pressure barStrain rateUltrahigh molecular weight polyethyleneStrain-rateBallistic performanceTensile propertiesReinforced epoxyWovenStrengthFailureImpactBridge decksEnergy absorptionMolecular weightPolyethylenesReinforcementUltrahigh molecular weight polyethylenesDifferent pressuresHigh strain ratesHybrid reinforcementsOut-of-plane directionSplit hopkinson pressure barsSplit-hopkinson pressure bar apparatusStress strainArticle0003897240000062-s2.0-850063324608194511Materials science, compositesHigh Strain Rate; Woven Composites; Composite Materials
