Parametric Study of Strain Rate Effects on Nanoparticle-Reinforced Polymer Composites

Figure 6

Comparison of the predicted and experimental stress-strain curves of WS-105 resins reinforced with various types of nanoparticles: (a) influence of nanoparticles type; (b) influence of GNP’s weight content when the resin is subjected to a quasistatic strain rate of 10−3 s−1; (c) influence of strain rate on the stress-strain responses of the resin reinforced with 1 wt% GNP.
