Composites/Polymers (Kevlar?) for defence application
(OP)
Hi all,
I am currently searching for a composite/poylmer in the form of a cylidrical/cone geometry (~60mm diam, L~200mm) that can withstand an axial (longitudinal) pressure of up to 550MPa with little deformation over a time period of approx. 5ms. Good ol' Matweb provides stats of Kevlar with UTS>3GPA and E~115GPa. But how good is it in compression, being a composite lay-up and all? Im open to suggestions of other materials. Any help would be gretly appreciated.
Cheers!
