Abstract
This paper describes strain rate effect on mechanical properties of CFRP tube. The investigated relations of CFRP tubes (fiber orientation 0, 30, 60, 75deg) between bending stress and bending strain under lateral impact loading using SHPB (Sprit Hopkinson's Pressures Bar) method. The experimental result pointed that bending stress and bending modulus depended on strain rate. Furthermore, it demonstrated that the higher fiber-oriented specimens produced, the more significant contribution to the strain rate effect.
