Prepreg bending stiffness
Prepreg bending stiffness
(OP)
I am trying to find the bending stiffness of prepreg material for simualting a molding process. There are some tests available such as the buckling test, where a strip of prepreg is axialy compressed and the deflection is measured. But then how would you go from that data to calculating the bending stiffness?
Thanks!

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

one thing if trying to fit a metal modelling program is count on NO stretch, only compression via fiber distortion. fiber distortion will be a function of fabric type and resin type/staging.
Good Luck
