| Abstract: | The method and results of experimental investigation of anisotropy of the elastic and strength properties of reinforced plastics are discussed. A method of determining the mechanical characteristics in different directions on tubular test pieces is proposed. A special testing machine is described. It is shown that determining the strength and elastic properties of reinforced materials in directions other than the directions of reinforcing on flat test pieces cut mechanically leads to distorted results.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 3, No. 3, pp. 461–466, 1967 |
