Gents,
I have a PMMA screen of around 800mm x700mm and 6mm thick. If I were to scored the sheet 3mm deep of v shape grove and from one corner of the sheet to another in the form of X. If the sheet is then subjected to impulse pressure of @ 20KPa. Do you think the sheet will break into small...
Has anyone has any experience in using composite material above its Tg. If one could characterise its mechanical properties (at temperature >Tg and ignoring non linear failure behaviour), can one use them for FE analysis i.e. does the FE result applicable or appropriate??
n/b: the component...
Does anyone know any website with information on the cost of composite materials i.e fibres: glass/carbon/kevlar either in UD or fabric form, also their prepregs with different matrices (epoxy/cyanate ester)
Thanks
Gents,
Is it correct that if holes are to be incorporated in a composite structure, OHT or OHC strength values should be used in the analysis instead of the normal tensile or compression values? and if it is should one use hot/wet values??
Thanks
