Abstract

Shear strength evaluation in composites is still a problem that has not been fully solved. Dynamic shear strength evaluation is even more complicated. In present work, failure theories are used to determine the range of fiber orientations in which the evaluation of shear strength is feasible. The symmetrical laminate is used to eliminate coupled shear strain to improve measurement accuracy. Three different fiber orientation laminates are chosen for quasi-static tension test. And a combination of experimental and numerical method is carried out for high strain rate tests. The results show that the fiber orientation of ± 15° is suitable for evaluating the dynamic shear strength of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer). This study is of great significance to dynamic shear strength evaluation method of continuous fiber reinforced composites considering strain rate effect.
