Material Properties of G-10 (Garolite)

Material Properties of G-10 (Garolite)

Material Properties of G-10 (Garolite)

(OP)
Hello,
I am in the process of doing an FEA on a part made out of G-10.  I am unable to find some material properties that are necessary for the FEA.  I have some of the standard stuff, tensile strength, Modulus of Elasticity etc, but I cannot find any information about Poisson ratio.

I have checked all of my regular sources, www.matweb.com, www.professionalplastics.com and some textbooks.

Can anyone point me to a source for this info?  Can anyone explain why the poisson is not listed for G-10?

RE: Material Properties of G-10 (Garolite)

If memory serves me G10 is a laminate commonly used for knife-scales, among other things. Since it's a glass reinfroced epoxy, can you find estimates? Also, can you find any data for the trade name Micarta?

RE: Material Properties of G-10 (Garolite)

On second thought, I don't believe Micarta is a trade name. Oh also, can you find anything for FR4?
