* During the manufacture of a composite, voids are introduced in the composite. This causes the theoretical density of the composite to be higher than the actual density. Also, the void content of a composite is detrimental to its mechanical properties. These detriments include lower ? Shear stiffness and strength ? Compressive strengths ? Transverse tensile strengths ? Fatigue resistance ? Moisture resistance * * Effects of Voids on Mechanical Properties Lower stiffness and strength Lower compressive strengths Lower transverse tensile strengths Lower fatigue resistance Lower moisture resistance A decrease of Mechanical properties 2-10% takes place with every 1% increase in void content . Void Content Volume of Void Total volume of the composite Theoretical volume of the composite Volume of the voids in the composites MicroMechanical Analysis of a Lamina * Evaluation of Four Elastic Moduli There are four elastic moduli of a unidirectional lamina: Longitudinal Young’s modulus, E1 Transverse Young’s modulus, E2 Major Poisson’s ratio, υ12 In-plane shear modulus, G12 Strength of Materials Approach Assumptions are made in the strength of materials approach The bond between fibers and matrix is perfect. The elastic moduli, diameters, and space between fibers are uniform. The fibers are continuous and parallel. The fiber and matrix follow Hooke’s law (linearly elastic). The fibers possess uniform strength. The composites is free of voids. Longitudinal Modulus, E1 Total force is shared by fiber and matrix Assuming that the ?bers, matrix, and composite follow Hooke’s law and that the ?bers and the matrix are isotropic, the stress–strain relationship for each component and the composite is The strains in the composite, ?ber, and matrix are equal (εc = εf = εm); Longitudinal Modulus, E1 Predictions agree well with experimental data Longitudinal Modulus, E1 Transverse Young’s Modulus, E2 In transverse loading the fibers carry less of the load
