Abstract

In this article we deal with deriving the elastic modulus of composite materials. Modulus values in each direction are various, for example in parallel direction and the perpendicular direction. It depends on the material properties for fibers from material for matrix, density of fibers in the composite material, as well as on whether it is a single or multi-layer composite material and from the direction the filaments in the matrix.

Keywords:
