The present study deals with the quasi-static and high strain rate characterization of Kevlar-129 based thermoplastic composites. Two different matrices, namely, Polypropylene (PP) Polyetherimide (PEI) were used to manufacture composite laminates. Quasi-static compression tests performed at rates 0.041 s ?1 0.045 . High using a split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus within ranging from 2548 437...
