Mechanical Properties of Unidirectionally Reinforced Materials

  • Chapter
Nonmetallic Materials and Composites at Low Temperatures

Abstract

Mechanical properties of unidirectionally reinforced composite materials with the systematic variation of reinforcement and matrix have been studied aiming at standardization of materials, testing methods and developing advanced materials. Mechanical properties on identical materials were measured at three different laboratories independently and the results were compared each other.

The variation of mechanical properties originated from reinforcement, epoxy matrix and the deviation of data caused by different experimental method is discussed. The possibility of standardization and developement of advanced materials are also discussed.
