Abstract
An experimental method is described to calculate both shear and Young's moduli of composite materials by three-point bending. The proposed procedure includes appropriate corrections for certain extraneous effects. The importance of the two basic ratios, E/G. which is an indicator of the degree of anisotropy of the material, and L/d. the span-to-depth ratio, is underlined.
