Abstract
A series of unidirectional graphite/epoxy laminates of various fiber moduli have been subjected to uniaxial-strain shock loading to assess their resistance to dynamic loading. All of the laminates were found to exhibit nearly identical values of wave attenuation and shock hardness, and the resistance to impact in the through-thickness direction was ascribed prima rily to the response of the epoxy matrix.Keywords
