The stress-strain behavior of metal-filled polymeric composites was studied at various tensile deformation rates. The dependency of the mechanical properties of iron-epoxy composites, such as elastic modulus, maximum load, breaking-strain and breaking-energy, on the rate of deform ation, as well as on the filler-volume fraction was examined. The results corroborate satisfactorily the theoretically predicted values.
