SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the need for online calculators to determine the properties of composite materials, specifically for various combinations of reinforcements and matrices. The user seeks to calculate engineering properties such as tensile and compressive strength, stiffness, modulus of elasticity, and rigidity. A recommended resource is the eFunda website, which provides calculators and theoretical information on composite materials, including common types like FRP, Kevlar, and Carbon/graphite.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of composite material properties
  • Familiarity with engineering mechanics concepts
  • Basic knowledge of material science
  • Access to online resources for composite calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the eFunda composite calculator for specific material properties
  • Research the mechanical properties of FRP, Kevlar, and Carbon/graphite composites
  • Learn about the theory of lamina and composite materials
  • Investigate additional online tools for composite material analysis
USEFUL FOR

Students in materials science, engineers working with composite materials, and researchers interested in the mechanical properties of composites will benefit from this discussion.

Composite doubt...

Composites are so cool and they make me go wild...
I have the composite paper only in my 6th semester and I am only in 3rd semester...
I was wondering if there are any online calculators to check out the properties of composites. I want to work out with various combinations of reinforcements and matrices and check out the results...
Somebody please help me.
How can I calculate the various engineering properties like strength(tensile, compressive), stiffness, modulus of elasticity and rigidity of composites?
I know there are sources in the internet for common composites like FRP, Kevlar, Carbon/graphite etc etc... It is just that I want to try it out for various combinations...
Please help me out...
