Multi-scale modelling of polymer composite materials at high rates of strain

The overall objective of this thesis was to develop a methodology for predicting the high strain rate properties of macro scale polymer composite materials through micro and meso scale finite element modelling. The focus in this study was on multi-layered multi-material polymer composite laminates...
