Determination of the Principal Mechanical Properties of Reinforced Plastic Laminates for Aircraft.

Abstract

The purpose of the test program described in this report was to develop engineering data on the mechanical and physical properties of reinforced plastic laminates for aircraft. Following are the systems tested: Modmor I Graphite/Narmco 5208; AS Graphite/Hercules 3501-5; T300 Graphite/Narmco 5208; RAC-7350/1014S-24; Kevlar 49 (PRD III)/Hexcel F161. The laminates were subjected to the following tests: tension, fatigue, compression, in-plane shear, flexural and interlaminar shear, and bearing stress. (Author)
