The mechanical performance of unidirectionally reinforced glass epoxy composites was studied as volume fraction filler was varied over the range 30-70 percent. Experimentally determined quantitites included: longitudinal and transverse tensile strength, ultimate strain, modulus; and Polsson's ratio; and longitudinal and tr^.isverse compressive strength. Data analysis Indicated that all properties varied linearly with volume fraction. Longitudinal properties and Polsson's ratio were interpreted in terms of the rule of mixtures.

TENSILE (COMPRESSIVE) PROPERTIES OF GLASS-EPOXY COMPOSITES
AS A FUNCTION OF VOLUME FRACTION
INTRODUCTION
Filament winding is a ccnmonly employed viable technique for
X' (Table A2); transverse properties Y, e " , E«. (Table A3) and Y',
-e«.ult (Table AM; Polsson's ratio v. (Table A5). C )mpresslve modul I 22 2]
and ultimate strains were not determined for longitudinal samples.
Compressive moduli for transverse samples were approximately equal to
the transverse tensile moduli.

Data include the observed values of the various quantities and
when appropriate the average values of several observations at a given vf.
Clearly scatter exists and a statistical treatment of the experimental
data Is In order.
In all cases a simple linear relationship was sought and data
were fit to the best straight line employing the least square technique.

These relationships are depicted graphically in Figure 1-8. The solid
lines and shaded region represent the appropriate linear dependency
upon volume fraction plus and minus one standard deviation. The open
circles Indicate a single experimental observation and an open circle
with a scatter band represents the actual experimental scatter about
the average valje. In the case of ultimate longitudinal strain e,,
(Fig. 2) an attempt was made to fit the best horizontal line i.e.
e ult - const, however such a fit resulted in a standard deviatior. which
exceeded the standard derivation of a linear relationship.

tensile strength at that v. I.e.
vf " " vf (12)
This result is to be expected in view of the fact that behavior was
nearly linear to failure.
Examination of the transverse tensile data (Figs. 5-7) discloses
the transverse modulus E . (Fig. 7) increases with v, at a greater rate
than does the transverse tensile strength Y (Fig. 5). Hence, the
transverse ultimate strain e (Fig. 6) must decrease with Increasing v.
If for any given v, strength and strain are to be nearly linearly
related, I.e.
■ (e"1' E„) vf v, 22 22 f (13)
A simple computation based on Eq. (8)-(10) verifies that Eq. 13 Is
essentially correct.
A point worth noting is that the transverse strength data Y (Fig. 5)
and Y' (Fig. 8) Include several test results from tubular samples (see
Appendix 1). Thene results agree favorably with the results of tests
on tensile strip or sandwich strip samples Indicating that free edge
and/or size effects were accounted for within observed scatter.
RULE OF HIXTURCS
Longitudinal Properties
The linear form for longitudinal strength and moduli as a function
of v. Indicates that Interpretation in terms of the rule of mixture
Is possible. Consider longitudinal tensile strength X (Eq. b). We wish
>
]
-; <mmm
to express this equation in the form:
X - X-v, + X (1 - vj f f m f
where,
X = composite strength
X, ■ strength of the fiber
X ■ strength of the matrix at composite ultimate strain
v, ■ volume fraction filler.
(IM
Us ing Eq. (5) and say v, ■ 0.50 we determine e ult 11 2.11%. We know [3]
that the modulus of the matrix is E « O.hk Msi hence it follows the m
Xm ■ 3.21* Ksi. Composite strength at v » .50 is determined from Eq. {k)
to be X ■ 119.60 Ksi. We can then incorporate Eq. (U) and back
calculate Xf. The result is Xf - 230 Ksi and the r.jle of mixtures Eq. (14)
can be written:
X - 230vf + 9-24(1 - vf) Ksi (15)
X, based upon the above calculation is a little lower than the value one
would anticipate for virgin E-glass fibers; however, it may be representative
of the strength of a typical fiber after filament winding.
A similar calculation for longitudinal compresslve strength results in
*■
X' - 170.3vf + 9-24 (1 - vf) Ksi (16)
Of course, this computation assumes the tensile and compresslve moduli and
ultimate strains ar« equal, a fact not verified.
Rule of mixtures Interpretation of the linear longitudinal modulus
vs. v, (Eq. 6) results In
E11 - ll.lvf + .44 (1 - vf) (Msi) (17) ht
A
The back calculated E^ - 11.1 (Ms!) agrees favorably with commonly
accepted valu«s of modulus for E-glass.
Poisson's Ratio
Poisson's ratio v.« can also be closely approximated by a rule of
mixture formulation [5]. The appropriate relationship is:
v 12 vfvf
vfvf + v-. (1 " V,) m (18)
where
v, - Poisson's ratio of the fiber
v - Poisson's ratio of the matrix
v, ■ volume fraction fiber
Using the values of v, - .25 and v ■ .35 reported In [6] the rule
of mixture prediction for v.. was calculated and is presented In Fig. 9.
This figure also depicts the experimentally determined values v9 .
These values of v. were used along with knowledge of E,, to calculate *! "
S.» ■ S2. (compliance coef.). The corresponding value of v.« was then
calculated from knowledge of E.. and the relationship -v.» = S.-E...
Clearly a great deal of scatter exists but the rule of mixtures prediction
appears to apply to the range 58% 1 Vr £ 75*
CONCLUSIONS
Longitudinal and transverse tensile strength, ultimate strain, and
moduli data can be well correlated by linear relationships over a volume
fraction range 30-70 percent. Longitudinal and transverse compresstve
strength data are also linearly related to vf In this range. In particular
'rule of mixtures' models for longitudinal strength, and modulus are
appropriate. Knowledge of X(v,), X^v,), Y(vr). and Y'(vr) allows
strength tensor components F., F.., F., F«, to be determined as a function

of v,. Reported values of ultimate strains and Polsson's ratio would
a'low computation of the maximum strain failure criterion predictions
as a function of v.. Data available limit this prediction to
58^ £ vf <^ 75% and to quadrants one and four of either principal strain
or stress space.
