Abstract
The failure of fibre composites and adhesively bonded fibre composites under high rates of test, up to rates of about 15 m s(-1) were studie d in detail. The present paper, Part I of the series, considers the ex perimental aspects of the mode I fracture of the fibre composite mater ials and joints. Part II will analyse the dynamic effects which are in variably associated with high-rate tests, and will show how these effe cts influence the observed behaviour of the test specimens. Part III w ill report the results from mode II and mixed-mode I/II tests on the f ibre composite materials.
