How to measure the Elastic modulus for composite materials?

[bzgackt]

Hi all~
I'm currently doing a research concerning the behaviors of composite materials in a autoclave. I'm trying to obtain the real time datas during the process.

So far, the ultrasonic techniques is the best candidate in my project. However, most of the ultrasonic theories are only suitable for isotropic materials. Does this matter when it's applied on composite materials?

Also, is there any other techniques that I should look up?

Thanks~~

Suggest you contact Prof. A. Poursartip at University of British Columbia. They have done a lot of cure process modelling at UBC.
