Abstract
Serious difficulties are associated with the measurement of the compre ssive modulus of fibres owing to their tendency to buckle during loadi ng. A novel technique is described, based on the theory of two-compone nt materials for determining both the tensile and compressive moduli o f reinforcing fibres in composites. It was found, particularly with Ke vlar 49, that the two moduli are significantly different.
