MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GRAPHITE

As mentioned in Sec. 1.2, the bond between eitoms within the basal plane of a graphite crystal is considerably stronger than the bond between the planes with an anisotropy ratio of approximately 75. This means that, while the strength in the ab directions is considerable, that in the c direction (interlaminar strength) is low and graphite shears easily between basal planes. The elastic constants are l  

The Young s modulus of elasticity of the crystal varies up to two orders of magnitude with the direction. It is plotted in Fig. 3.13 as a function of the angle between the c direction and the direction of measurement.PI

Similarity to W Pile. The greatest single disadvantage which our choice has is its similarity, at least superficially, to the W pile. Thus, some of the expected, and many of the unforeseen, difficulties of the W pile are retained. Some, however, are eliminated. The most important single uncertainty that our pile avoids arises from the possible change in the mechanical properties of graphite during operation. This in itself seems to be a very important point since it will be very difficult to remedy.

The opportunity of improvement of physic mechanical properties of graphite feeling compositions due to reduction of aggregation of particles of feeler and improvements of adhesive interaetion PHE and graphite as a result of graphite sinface processing is shown. 

This report represents the first to recognize the effects of this non-equilibrium behavior in epoxy glasses on the long-term mechanical properties of graphite/epoxy composites. This finding is particularly important in view of the growing applications of graphite/epoxy composites as structural parts in aerospace and automotive industries.
