ESTABLISHMENT OF THE POTENTIAL OF FLAKE REINFORCED COMPOSITES AS ENGINEERING STRUCTURAL MATERIALS

Abstract

Open-en ed Terms: Flake laminates, Glass flakes. An evaluation of geometric concentratio effects on circular lap joints was conducted. This inclu ed the develop nt of methods of analyzing circular lap joints, a , perimental v rification of concentration factors at the edge of the flake as high as 4. The notch sensitivity of flake reinforced composites was evaluated. Although flake reinforced composites behave as brittle materials, they were determined to be relatively insensitive to notches, experimentally. The electrical properties of gl s flake reinforced composites and mica flake reinforced composites were evaluate a d compared. Mica flake composites appear to be as good as glass flake composites.
