G-10 (garolite) material properties

G-10 (garolite) material properties

G-10 (garolite) material properties

(OP)
Hello,  I have also posted this question in the Materials Engineering forum.

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: G-10 (garolite) material properties

Dave Steinberg's "Vibration Analysis for Electronic Equipment" give a Poisson's ratio of 0.12 for G-10 epoxy fiberglass.

The text also gives the elastic modulus as 2.0e+06 lb/in^2.

Please consider these values as "For Reference Only."
