Composite Formal Definition • A complex material, such as wood or fiberglass, in which two or more distinct, structurally complementary substances, especially metals, ceramics, glasses, and polymers, combine to produce structural or functional properties not present in any individual component.
COMPOSITES • reinforcing phase- fibers, sheets, or particles, and is embedded in the other material called the matrix phase. • The reinforcing material and the matrix material may be metal, ceramic, glass, or polymer.

Cotton Fiber in Super Glue Lay out a sheet of waxed paper Stretch a cotton string across the paper, hold taut Second person applies super glue to soak the string, stopping short of fingers Allow to cure ~ one minute Carefully pull waxed paper from string
Cement Puck • Neat portland cement, 100g with 50g water (1/2 cup cement, ¼ cup water) • Mixture as above plus Easter grass • Cast each in styrofoam bowls • After several days, determine fracture characteristics
Cross section of extruded decking material. It is made up of 2/3 wood fiber and 1/3 plastic

Ticket Stock Hexagonal Cell Ticket stock comes precut to an exact width. No cutting required. Take 6 lengths of 10 tickets each. Fold each ten ticket length at the perforations to form compact stacks: Compress: Fold each stack in half: Compress:
Ticket Stock Composite Take one folded and compressed stack of ten tickets: Pull partway open:
Ticket Stock Composite Add another: Join each contacting surface Repeat to make three joined units
Join the three units: Then stretch a little….
Apply tape to close the cells: Test by gently bending Test to failure between books with a weight on top Observe failure mode
Types of Composite Laminar Nano CuNb Multilayer paper w glue Formica: paper + phenolic & melamine resins Plywood Auto windshield: glass/polymer/glass Foam beams with glue and paper or with tape
Aluminum Board: The board is made of (2) 6005-T6 extruded aluminum beams that are epoxied along the centerline and press bonded
Composite Tension /Compression • Polystyrene Foam • Tape top side Tape bottom side • Tape both sides • Tape both sides, flaw one side Tape

Deflection Weight Applied
Young's Modulus, PSI E= 4x Load x L x L x L Def x W x H x H x H L = Length of the unsupported portion of the beam W= Width of the beam H= Height (thickness) of the beam D= Deflection Load in pounds, dimensions in inches • In conventional US units the load in pounds equals the force, • dimensions are in inches, E has the units of pounds per square inch. • For Steel: E ~ 30,000,000 PSI
The SI unit of modulus of elasticity (E )is the pascall (Pa or N/m² or m−1·kg·s−2 ). The force of a Newton, 1 kg·m /s2 is that of a smallish apple at sea level. Typical Values: Polymer, Nylon 2 to 4 GPa FCC: Copper 117 GPa, Aluminum 69 GPa BCC: Steel 200 GPa, Tungsten 400 Gpa Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (70/30 fibre/matrix, unidirectional, along grain), 181 GPa Diamond 1220 GPa
