Table 2 Quasi-static and high rate off-axis tension and transverse tension properties

From: Experimental characterization and constitutive modeling of the non-linear stress–strain behavior of unidirectional carbon–epoxy under high strain rate loading

 

Fiber angle \(\varvec{\theta }\) (\(^\circ \))

 

Ultimate strength (MPa)

Shear angle d\(\varvec{\theta }\) (\(^\circ \))

Axial strain rate \(\varvec{{\dot{\varepsilon }}_{xx}\; (\mathrm {s^{-1}})}\)

Shear strain rate \(\varvec{{\dot{\gamma }}_{12}\; (\mathrm {s^{-1}})}\)
