Abstract

The method for simultaneous determination of Young's and shear moduli proposed recently is applied to unidirectional composites with a wide range of fibre volume fractions. Also, interlaminar and translaminar modes of loading are compared. The results obtained fit well the Halpin-Tsai theoretical predictions of both Young's and shear moduli. A limitation on the validity of the method is discussed in terms of suitable loading spans which produce significant flexure and shear contributions together.
