hello.

How much is poissons ratio of EasyComposites CFRP?
 
and is there any idea to analyze CFRP item in CAE simulator?


Thanks,

The answer is as long as a piece of string. There are dozens of different fibre types and weaves as well as dozens of resins and hence probably hundreds of combinations of the two.

Most of our carbons are based on a Grafil Pyrofil http://www.grafil.com/pyrofil.html in either 3k or 12k   or use Toray T300 fibres depending which manufacturer makes the fabric.

Resin info can be found on the relevant resin web page and accompanying data sheet.

You will need to calculate the properties of your chosen laminate layup and enter them into your CAE software to simulate it.  Some of the software is clever enough to do this for you with the appropriate raw material data from above.
