Abstract

Monotonic tensile tests were conducted following ASTM Standards D3039 (Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials) and D3518 (Standard Test Method for In-Plane Shear Response of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials by Tensile Test of a ±45° Laminate), on non-hybrid plain weave composite materials. Strips (6.35mm×25mm×250mm) of non-hybrid IM-7 Graphite/SC-79 epoxy called GR for short, non-hybrid S-2 Glass/SC-79 epoxy called GL for short specimens were tensile tested. The tests were conducted at -60°C, -20°C, 75°C and 125°C. The Poisson’s ratios were measured using strain gages. It was observed that temperature had a small effect on the Poisson’s ratio.
