Abstract

Taylor impacts experiments were conducted on PEEK at velocities between 150 & 360 m s−1. The material was found to respond in a ductile manner and exhibit a color change later found to be associated with large compressive strains in PEEK, irrespective of strain‐rate. No changes in molecular weight were detected as a result of high‐strain rate or large strain deformation. Melting has been shown not to be responsible for the ductile deformation and limited tearing response of PEEK subject to Taylor impact.
