2010-01-05 Kevlar... WHAT RESIN other than EPOXY:
Kevlar comes in at least 4 varieties, K29, K49, K179, and TH, with young's modulus 62, 131, 179, and 70 GPa, respectively, all at density 1.45 g/cc. E-glass has modulus 72 GPa and density 2.5 g/cc
2009-12-19 off-axis unidirectional composite:
Yes, there are. Writen below in LaTeX notation. Taken from Section 1.13.1 of book ISBN 1-4200-5433-3. \nu_{ij}/E_i = \nu_{ji}/E_j ; with i,j=1..3; i\ne j and 0<\nu_{ij}<\sqrt{E_i/E_j} ; with i
2009-10-12 Carbon fiber vs fiberglass:
With or without resin, it is not true. The strength of E-glass (3.45 GPa) and carbon (3.53 GPA for carbon T300) are virtually identical. Carbon is lighter $ 1.75 g/cc vs. 2.5 g/cc for glass. Some carbon
2009-10-02 Failure critaria for fabrics laminate:
If all you want is the load at which the first crack occurs in the first lamina to crack, which is called first ply failure (FPF), then you can use max. stress but you have to adjust the strength values
2009-09-26 Glass Shelf:
The density of common glass http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/ShayeStorm.shtml varies from 2400 to 2800 kg/m^3 (compare with water at 1000 kg/m^3, which is the same as 1 kg/liter). The weight
