ESTABLISHMENT OF THE POTENTIAL OF FLAKE REINFORCED COMPOSITES AS ENGINEERING STRUCTURAL MATERIALS
Abstract
Composite materials studies indicated that combination of flake and fiber in a laminate will provide high compression, flexural, and t nsile strengths. Increase in the modulus can be expected also. Additional studies provided data to substantiate the theory that flake laminates are insensitive to stress concentration. Techniques were evaluated for molding cylinders of glass flake material. Limited success was achieved which indicates that quality cylindrical flake laminates are possible. Studies on thread shear strength and machinability indicate that flake laminates could be used efficiently for inserts in primary structures. (Author)
