Flexural Strength of Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Composites

摘要

The objective was to study why, when the unidirectional carbon fiber compositespecimens were subjected to bending, they failed on the tension side of the material rather than the compressive side. Tests were carried out on unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using a specifically designed combined compression and bending rig. An automatic data recording system was used in order to record strain and load data efficiently and accurately. This required the writing of a data logging computer program. Results and conclusions are given.
