2008-12-05 Composite Materials - fiberglass properties: Since glass is linear and elastic, the tensile strain (to failure) e_u is calculated simply as e_U=f_u/E, in terms of the tensile strength f_u and Young modulus E=72 GPa. Manufacturers claim f_u=3450 MPa...

2008-12-02 Composite Materials - fiberglass properties: Actually the stiffness is low at 72 GPa compared to Aluminum at about 75 and steel at about 200. This is a disadvantage compared to Carbon fiber (and steel). Of course the density is low (2.5 g/cc) which...
