Overview
Title:  Composite Materials Handbook (CMH-17) Volume 2, Polymer Matrix Composites: Materials Properties
Scope:  This handbook volume provides a standard source of statistically based mechanical property data for current and emerging polymeric matrix composite materials. Physical, chemical, and mechanical values of the composite constituents - the fibers, matrix material, and prepreg - are reported where applicable. Subsequent chapters include data summaries for the various composite systems. Individual chapters focus on particular type of reinforcement fiber. Strength and strain-to-failure properties are reported in terms of mean and A-values and/or B-values. The A and B statistical allowable values are determined by the procedures of Volume 1. Only mean values are reported for elastic properties. Maximum and minimum data values and coefficients of variation are reported for all data items.
