Carbon_Fiber_Honeycomb

class Carbon_Fiber_Honeycomb(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Solid

A class representing carbon fiber honeycomb core material properties.

ultimate_tensile_strength

Maximum tensile stress before failure in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

ultimate_shear_strength

Maximum shear stress before failure in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

ultimate_bearing_strength

Maximum bearing stress before failure in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

yield_tensile_strength

Stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

yield_shear_strength

Shear stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

yield_bearing_strength

Bearing stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1e6)

Type:

float

minimum_gage_thickness

Minimum manufacturable thickness in m (6.5e-3)

Type:

float

Notes

This class implements material properties for carbon fiber honeycomb core materials typically used in sandwich composite structures. The low density and relatively high thickness reflect its primary use as a lightweight core material.

Definitions

‘Ultimate Strength’

The maximum stress that a material can withstand before failure

‘Yield Strength’

The stress at which a material begins to deform plastically
