Nine laminates of various thicknesses, fabricated from CTL-91LD phenolic resin and reinforced with 181-A1100 glass fabric, were evaluated in tension, compression, and flexure. The laminates covered the thickness range of 0.017 to 1.453 inches. Results indicate that strength in tension, elevated-temperature compression, and flexure reached a maximum or nearly maximum value for laminates at about 1/8-in. thickness; below 1/8 inch, strength decreases gradually at first, and then abruptly with decreases in laminate thickness. A slight increase in tensile strength for thicknesses above 1/8 inch was noted, but decreases were found in the other tests. The normal compressive strength value was shown to be at a maximum between thicknesses of about 1/4 and 1/2 inch with gradual, then abrupt, decreases in strength noted as the thickness decreased.

A comprehensive reference on the properties, selection, processing, and applications of the most widely used nonmetallic engineering materials. Section 1, General Information and Data, contains information applicable both to polymers and to ceramics and glasses. It includes an illustrated glossary, a collection of engineering tables and data, and a guide to materials selection. Sections 2 through 7 focus on polymeric materials--plastics, elastomers, polymer-matrix composites, adhesives, and sealants--with the information largely updated and expanded from the first three volumes of the Engineered Materials Handbook. Ceramics and glasses are covered in Sections 8 through 12, also with updated and expanded information. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
