    PMMA screen failure

    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...

    Usage of composite materials above Tg

    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...

    Materials properties for composite design

    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 Compoman
