Thermoset phenolic with reinforced cotton linen

Thermoset phenolic with reinforced cotton linen

Thermoset phenolic with reinforced cotton linen

(OP)
Currently I am needing mechanical properties of a 2-ply laminate thermoset phenolic resin reinforced with cotton linen (long fibers).  The bottom ply is 90 deg, the top ply is 45 deg with respect to the bottom creating a quasi-isotropic material fiber structure pattern.  First, is it suitable to assume the material to be isotropic?  I would like to model the material in Ansys; but the properties are needed for analysis.  In order to get true stress, strain, Young's Modulous, and Poisson's Ratio, would I need to do a dogbone tensile test with strain gages?
I've looked in the www.matweb for info and could not find anything useful.  Where to look?, How to model the material?

RE: Thermoset phenolic with reinforced cotton linen

We had a similar task some years ago and had to go the dog bone test route.

You may  find some relevant maths in a book "Appplication of Fracture Mechanics" by Barsom and Rolfe, published by Prentice Hall.

Good luck

White Paper - Addressing Tooling and Casting Requirements at the Design Stage
Several of the tooling and casting requirements of a part can be addressed at the design stage. If these requirements are not addressed at the design stage, lot of time is spent in design iteration when the design reaches the die caster. These design issues lead to increase in time and cost of production leading to delay in time to market and reduced profits for the organization. Download Now
White Paper - The Other Side of Design for Assembly
Assembly level constraints need to be satisfied before the design can move downstream. This white paper will go through the various assembly level issues, which need to be tackled by various organizations on a regular basis. Know more about DFMPro, a design for assembly software. Download Now
