Abstract

Flat polyethylene/polyethylene composite strips were produced by pressing filament-wound preforms. The fibre continuity in the filament wound strips resulted in higher failure strains, better fracture toughness and longer fatigue lives compared with the equivalent angleply composites. As expected for angle-ply composites, the mechanical properties depended on the high shear deformation of the matrix which in turn depended on the winding angle.
