Abstract
Thick panel glass/polymer composites are being considered as a structural c omponent in ballistic armor. A new experimental technique has been develope d to perform dynamic bi-axial testing on laminate composites. In-plane ulti mate compressive strength of the composite is compared for various combinat ions of bi-axial stress and strain rate. Evolution of the damage in the com posite and subsequent kink-band formation is studied by the use of high-spe ed photography and electron microscopy. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
