Abstract

Compression modulus and strength have been measured for unidirectional carbon fiber/thermoplastic matrix composites Values obtained from the use of a Northrop loading fixture are compared to those from an IITRI fixture Low Northrop modulus values are explained using buckling theory and the effect of fiber curvature within the lam inate. Also, data are compared tor composites with different fiber forms with emphasis on fiber curvature.
