STRESSED STATE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS,

Abstract

This brief review of the stressed state and mechanical properties of reinforced composite materials deals with previously published data. The topics discussed are: (1) stress field generated in the composite material as a result of an applied external load: Young's modulus; shape and size of inclusions; orientation of inclusion; and deformation of matrix; (2) behavior characteristics of fibrillar composition under an applied mechanical load: influence of the ratio of elastic moduli of components on the limiting strength of composite materials; concentration dependence of strength limit; influence of fiber length on the mechanical properties of composite materials; and heat resistance of composite materials. The discussions are illustrated with appropriate equations and diagrams taken from the literature. It is concluded that it is relatively easy to design composite materials with given mechanical properties.
