Investigating the Dynamic Behaviour of High Performance Fibres

The mechanical properties of single fibres under high strain rates are difficult to achieve due to the small size of the specimens. Before the failure of the fibre there must be a state of equilibrium and ensure that the filament don’t slip during the procedure. In order to avoid the slipping of the fibre, it can be used glue or a clamping system but this way there will be stress concentrations.
