This report describes the mechanical characterization of six types of woven composites that Sandia National Laboratories are interested in. These six composites have various combinations of two types of fibers (Carbon-IM7 and Glass-S2) and three types of resins (UF-3362, TC275-1, TC350-1). In this work, two sets of experiments were conducted: quasi-static loading with displacement rate of 2 mm/min (1.3x10^(-3) in/s) and high rate loading with displacement of 5.08 m/s (200 in/s). Quasi-static experiments were performed at three loading orientations of 0°, 45°, 90° for all the six composites to fully characterize their mechanical properties. The elastic properties Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, as well as ultimate stress and strain were obtained from the quasi-static experiments. The high strain rate experiments were performed only on glass fiber composites along 0° angle of loading. The high rate experiments were mainly to study how the strain rate affects the ultimate stress of the glass-fiber composites with different resins.
