Carbon Fiber Properties

[nemo]

Hi,
I'm looking for carbon fiber's mechanical properties, such as modulus, ply thickness, poisson's ratios, and so on, for any kind of carbon reinforcements.

There are an infinite number of properties, since they depend on a lot of factors, so you are really asking for much.

I would instead suggest that you go to www.marinecomposites.com and download Eric Greene's "Marine Composites". It is a great book for anyone interested in the marine use of composites, and it's free!

You could also go to www.tc.faa.gov/its/act141/reportpage.html and download a document from the U.S. Department of Transportation titled "Fiber Composite Analysis and Design". This document was prepared to provide training material for the engineers of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
