Abstract

Flat polyethylene/polyethylene composite strips were produced by pressing filament-wound preforms. The fibre continuity in the filament wound strips resulted in higher failure strains, better fracture toughness and longer fatigue lives compared with the equivalent angle-ply composites. As expected for angle-ply composites, the mechanical properties depended on the high shear deformation of the matrix which in turn depended on the winding angle,
