Mechanical Properties of Tape Composites

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0843077 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The stiffness and strength of tape-reinforced composites have been calculated by using the finite-element method, simple model theory and the von Mises-Hencky criterion. The tapes are assumed to be oriented uniaxially in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. According to the theoretical calculations, substantial increases in two basic moduli and a transverse strength are possible with the tape systems, as compared with the corresponding fiber systems. The calculations are based mainly on glass-epoxy composites.
