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.

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 ).l The force of a Newton, 1 kg·m /s 2 is that of a smallish apple at sea level.

Components of Concrete Portland cement (clay and limestone whose origin is ground stone from Isle of Portland in Dorset. England.)

6 Parts Experiment (Second Year Camp) Concrete beams are tested in bending to failure(fracture) Beams are supported at each end with bricks and loaded in the center with more bricks to failure. An extension is to modify the concrete,( perhaps sticky rice?) Try adding wire scaled to size representing rebar Try adding Easter grass Examine, describe fracture surface: A. By eye B. With a magnifying glass C. With a low power microscope

Time for glue, 6 strips of paper A Bottom layer Place second strip over glued first strip Add stripes of glue to the surface of B, place a strip C on top and glue as A. Repeat alternating glue positions for 6 strips then add a cover strip. After drying, open as a honeycomb. This method is analogous to the actual manufacture of honeycomb for composites. It is sometimes difficult to open the honeycomb. The method using ticket stock is an adaptation for classrooms, yielding a more uniform hexagonal honeycomb. B B
