| Abstract: | The elastic and strength characteristics of high-modulus composites with 12 different reinforcement schemes have been studied thoroughly. The effect of reinforcement schemes on change in elastic and strength characteristics of composites has been evaluated. A calculation of the elastic characteristics of high-modulus composites has been performed from the properties of the reinforcement and binder, and a comparison of the results with experimental data is given. Diagrams of deformation upon extension of the composites studied are given.All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Aviation Materials, Moscow.
