Abstract

Random carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin sheets have been prepared and tensile tested. The strengths and Young's moduli varied with fibre volume fraction and fibre length, but the values obtained were somewhat less than slip theory and shear lag theory would indicate. A new theory of slip, taking account of the angles between fibres and applied stress, but neglecting fibre-fibre interactions, predicts strengths and Young's moduli somewhat better.
