prediction methods VS real tests

[SuperViriato]

I’m trying to make a comparation between prediction methods (like the Rule Of Mixtures, Halpin-Tsai and FEM) and real tests made in unidirectional fiber reinforced composites.

For this purpose i need the properties of the fiber and matrix (Young modulus, poison) and the composite test results (Young and shear modulus, poison)

Anyone know of an internet resource for this kind of thing?

I apretiate any help

http://www.hexcel.com

has a fair bit of data on fibre properties, resin properties and the resulting composite properties. It's all averages rather than allowables, but it may be helpful.

Also try Matweb.com for lots of information from numerous manufacturers - it's really good and free.
