Abstract
To understand the quasi-static and dynamic compressive mechanical properties of a kind of three dimension braided carbon/epoxy composite, numbers of quasi-static and dynamic compression experiments were conducted, by means of WDS-100 universal material testing machine and SHPB technology respectively. The compressive stress-strain curves and compressive strength were achieved in a large strain rate range (from strain rate 0 to about 2400 s−1). The fractured failure modes of carbon/epoxy composite are also photographed. The experimental results show that the dynamic performance of this composite and the strain rate effect are matrix-dominated; the carbon fiber and its initial waviness master the mechanical property. The energy absorption characteristics of round tube made of composite material is also studied based on drop-hammer test and compared with that of steel tube.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
