Deformation and strength properties of a carbon–carbide composite with 2D reinforcement under plane stress state

Abstract

Data of an experimental–theoretical investigation of the deformation and strength characteristics of a carbon–carbide composite with a 2D reinforcement scheme are given. The nonlinear deformation of the material is described using the relationships of nonlinear elasticity of an orthotropic solid. The strength characteristics are calculated by the maximum stress criterion. Calculated deformation diagrams and ultimate strengths are compared with the experimental data of the authors.
