Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials

The following table lists physical and mechanical property values for representative ply and

core materials widely used in ber-reinforced composite laminates. Ply properties are taken

from F.P.Gerstle, \Composites,"

York, 1991, which should be consulted for data from a wider range of materials. See also
