Abstract: In this paper the results of a high-speed tension experiment of the SiC_w/Al composite have been reported and a simplified theoretical model has been developed to study the fracture mechanism of composites in high-speed tension. This theoretical model provides a new explanation for the increase of dynamic fracture strength of composites in high-speed tension.

Key words: composite material, high-speed tension, fracture mechanics, analytical function
