Abstract: | The relation between the interlaminar shear modulus G of oriented glass-reinforced plastics and their thermal conductivity in a direction orthogonal to the plane of reinforcement is investigated. It is shown that G can be predicted from the measured values of and the bending deformations from and the propagation velocity of ultrasound.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
