A series of experiments and simulations were performed to explore the effect of loading rate on the tensile behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy composite interface via the fiber bundle tensile method. Varying velocities were used to test the stress-time and stress-displacement curves of the samples, and a high-speed camera was used to study the in situ failure behavior of the carbon fiber/epoxy interface. Increasing the loading rate from 5 x 10-6-6 m/s to 12.0 m/s leds to an increase in the interfacial tensile strength from 6.1 f 0.9 MPa to 16.4 f 0.3 MPa, an increase in the interfacial stiffness from 1.58 f 0.3 N/m to 17.4 f 3.1 N/m, and a decrease in the fracture displacement from 0.23 f 0.03 mm to 0.10 f 0.01 mm. Optical microscopy analysis revealed rougher crack surfaces at higher loading rates. The fracture mode of interface transitioned from fiber breakage and pull-out to brittle matrix cracking with increasing loading rate. The finite element method was employed to verify the effectiveness of the fiber bundle tensile method with a split Hopkinson tension bar and study the failure behavior of the interface under dynamic loading. The simulation results showed that the calculated failure stress was 20 % lower than the actual value, and the cohesive layer was found to have greater stress at the edge region. This investigation deepens the understanding of the effects of the loading rate on the interfacial tensile behaviors of carbon fiber/epoxy composites.
