Carbon epoxy modulus

Vitahium FHS ahoy is a cobalt—chromium—molybdenum ahoy having a high modulus of elasticity. This ahoy is also a preferred material. When combiaed with a properly designed stem, the properties of this ahoy provide protection for the cement mantle by decreasing proximal cement stress. This ahoy also exhibits high yields and tensile strength, is corrosion resistant, and biocompatible. Composites used ia orthopedics include carbon—carbon, carbon—epoxy, hydroxyapatite, ceramics, etc.

The composite skeletons were prepared from Sigrafil HM 3 PAN-based fiber, rigidized with a phenolic resin, and densified by four cycles with coal-tar pitch plus sulfur the carbonization temperature was 1000°C.

Figure 2.7 Relationship between measurement frequency/ and peak temperature of loss modulus for carbon/epoxy composites. (According to [13].) Points show experimental data taken from [15], and dash and solid lines correspond to fitting by Arrhenius law (Eq. 2.10) and VF relationship (Eq. 2.11) respectively.

Examples of angle-ply and quasi-isotropic laminated T300/5208 (carbon/ epoxy) are analysed in terms of in-plane and flexural engineering constants. The lamina engineering constants were given in Table 11.1. Table 11.2 shows the longitudinal modulus and Poisson s ratio for different laminates experimentally measured [14]. The measured data compare quite well with calculated values from CLT.

This practice continues to this day, for bonded patches over cracks, or other damage, in metallic structures. The preliminary design overlap for one-sided patches is 60 times the skin thickness, on each side of the crack. This ratio is not universal, of course it was developed for aluminum adherends bonded together by toughened epoxy adhesives. But the process by which the overlaps were established, which is described later, is universal and can be repeated for other materials. It should be noted, however, that nearly isotropic carbon-epoxy laminates have about the same Young s modulus as aluminum alloys and that the same factors can be applied directly.

Carbon-Fiber Composites. Cured laminates of phenoHc resins and carbon-fiber reinforcement provide superior flammabiHty resistance and thermal resistance compared to unsaturated polyester and epoxy. Table 15 shows the dependence of flexural strength and modulus on phenoHc—carbon-fiber composites at 30—40% phenoHc resin (91). These composites also exhibit long-term elevated temperature stabiHty up to 230°C. 

Eor the case of high modulus fibers such as carbon fibers with = 240 GPa (3.5 x 10 psi), in a polymer matrix, such as epoxy resin with = 3.0 GPa (450,000 psi), the extensional modulus is approximately proportional to the fiber volume fraction and the modulus of the fibers ...
