Material Properties of Carbon Fiber
Material Properties of Carbon Fiber
(OP)
Do you guys know how can I justify that carbon fiber has isotropic / orthotropic material properties?
if it is isotropic, how can i justify
some papers suggest they are orthotropic?
is it because when it undergoes curing process, in the oven
it becomes elastic brittle (which induce to orthotropic rather than isotropic in its original mode (graphite/carbon)
many thanks
hope you could give me some lights

RE: Material Properties of Carbon Fiber
There are reasons why a carbon fiber would have anisotropic properties. For example, many are made from PAN fibers (polyacrylonitrile) which contain highly aligned polymer chains from the spinning process. These would then carbonize to give aligned graphitic sheets.

RE: Material Properties of Carbon Fiber
so it seems vendor of carbon fibre as general couldn't give generic material properties for all direction then
