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 GraphiteNarmco 5208 AS GraphiteHercules 3501-5 T300 GraphiteNarmco 5208 RAC-73501014S-24 Kevlar 49 PRD IIIHexcel F161. The laminates were subjected to the following tests tension, fatigue, compression, in-plane shear, flexural and interlaminar shear, and bearing stress. Author
