Compression Testing of Carbon Fibers

Abstract

In materials engineering, composites are a class of materials made by embedding fibers of one type of material within another material, called the matrix. In general, composite materials possess high strength for their weight, and as a result, composites have been the subject of intensive research in aerospace engineering. The best examples of the use of composites in space are the payload bay doors of the Space Shuttle. (JES)
