my favorite book is 'engineering mechanics of composite materials' by isaac m.daniel and ori ishai. it goes deep into material properties and so on - if at some stage, you're interested in that!
have you heard of a thermoplastic resin system which (with carbon fibers) can withstand 1100°C for 5 minutes?
i thought only thermosets could be used in such a situation!
i'm thinking of filament winding the pipe. it's about 25 centimeters in length and looks like an 'S' - so it's bent twice with two 90°s. and it's supported at the two ends.
the effective compressive young's mod is 140GPa, its tensile strength is 1500MPa and compressive is 900MPa.
hi!
so my previous question was whether a 1mm thickness of carbon/epoxy would be able to withstand -37psi. this is what my calculations say - i'm just wondering if it makes logical sense...those of you with more experience?
the material is carbon fiber and epoxy, diameter is 2.5in, filament...
