| description | A wider adoption of emerging thermosetting composite materials using Boron
and Kevlar-49 fibres will be facilitated by establishing their mechanical properties and
production costs. This study aims to characterise these reinforced composites on the basis
of performance and economic considerations that can be readily used by manufacturers
and designers. Composites with polyimide and polyester thermosetting plastics were
prepared and tested in tension, compression and bending. The results are compared with
those predicted by several micromechanics models and their limitations have been
identified. The developed composites are ranked on a cost-performance basis that can be
used for different applications. |
