G-10 (garolite) material properties

[ShaggyPE]

Hello, I have also posted this question in the Materials Engineering forum.

I am in the process of doing an FEA on a part made out of G-10. I am unable to find some material properties that are necessary for the FEA. I have some of the standard stuff, tensile strength, Modulus of Elasticity etc, but I cannot find any information about Poisson ratio.

I have checked all of my regular sources,

http://www.matweb.com,

http://www.professionalplastics.com

and some textbooks.

Can anyone point me to a source for this info? Can anyone explain why the poisson is not listed for G-10?

Dave Steinberg's "Vibration Analysis for Electronic Equipment" give a Poisson's ratio of 0.12 for G-10 epoxy fiberglass.

The text also gives the elastic modulus as 2.0e+06 lb/in^2.

Please consider these values as "For Reference Only."
