Type:

float

ultimate_shear_strength

Maximum shear stress before failure in Pa (90e6)

Type:

float

ultimate_bearing_strength

Maximum bearing stress before failure in Pa (600e6)

Type:

float

yield_tensile_strength

Stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (600e6)

Type:

float

yield_shear_strength

Shear stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (90e6)

Type:

float

yield_bearing_strength

Bearing stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (600e6)

Type:

float

minimum_gage_thickness

Minimum manufacturable thickness in m (420e-6)

Notes

This class implements material properties for bidirectional woven carbon fiber composites. Properties are based on median values from manufacturer reported data. The equal ultimate and yield strengths reflect the generally linear elastic behavior of carbon fiber composites up to failure.

Definitions

‘Bidirectional Carbon Fiber’

A composite material with carbon fibers woven in two perpendicular directions, providing similar properties in both directions

‘Ultimate Strength’

The maximum stress that a material can withstand before failure
