Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A large increase of the load-carrying capacity of the fiber-reinforced composites-carbon plastics under the effect of compressive loads can be achieved by "blocking" the mechanisms of the loss of stability with separation (knocking out to one side) of individual structural elements-blocks.

  2. 2.

    The most effective direction of increasing the compressive strength of carbon plastics is an increase of the bonding strength of the individual blocks (transverse strength).

  3. 3.

    A large increase of compressive strength can result from an increase of the bonding surface of the blocks, especially as a result of reducing their thickness.
