Abstract Effects of moderate straining speed on the material and damage characteristics of beam samples of graphite/epoxy and E-glass/epoxy composites were investigated. The basic fiber architecture utilized was unidirectional, axial layup, but data was also obtained for the 45-degree orientation. Ultrasonic and acoustic emission (AE) inspections were utilized. The acoustic emission records show matrix cracking. The ultrasonic images revealed the regions of failure. The results show that in general, strain rate notably affects material and damage properties.
