Composite Materials Fabrication / Testing

CompositesMaterials TestingData

Assignment

Fabricate and test composite material samples, recording strength data across different orientations and moments of inertia.

What I learned

The same material can show dramatically different strength results based on moment of inertia and orientation. Small orientation changes can affect the integrity of an engineered product as a whole.

Improvements & reflection

I was absent during the testing stage, so I struggled with report format and calculations. Being present for the test and double-checking calculations would have improved my grade.
