A Case Study of High Strain Rate Effects in Glass Filled Thermoplastic Materials 980065

Choosing the correct thermoplastic for an instrument panel application requires a thorough understanding of the environmental and performance conditions. In the case of a high speed event, such as an airbag deployment or a knee bolster intrusion, standard static tensile properties may not adequately define the material performance. The engineer needs to understand the materials sensitivity to high strain rate extremes. The subject of this paper is the enhancement of part performance through the testing and knowledge of material performance over a range of strain rates.
