Extraction of mechanical properties over a range of strain rates from indentation data
A procedure is described for indentation creep plastometry. It is based on iterative numerical simulation of the indentation process, with repeated comparison between an experimental outcome and the corresponding model prediction, systematically varying the values of parameters in a constitutive …

Micromechanics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibre composites
… state-of-the-art materials for penetration and ballistic impact protection applications. The composites are made of strong UHMWPE fibres with a soft compliant matrix. The extreme anisotropy caused by the mismatch between the stiffness and strength of the fibres and the matrix resulted in unique …

Resistance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites to Quasi-static and Ballistic Perforation
The failure mechanisms, as well as the indentation and penetration resistance, of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) cross-ply laminates were investigated under quasi-static and ballistic loading. In this thesis, the two most prominent failure modes were indirect tension and shear plugging. To …
