Tensile and Flexural Properties of Fiber Composite Dilatant Compound

Abstract

We studied the application of the dilatant compound, which is the polymer-based material with dilatancy properties, to the matrix of the fiber composite material. The basic mechanical properties of the dilatant compounds have been studied, but no research has been done on fiber composite dilatant compound. In this paper, the tensile test and the three-point flexural test of fiber composite dilatant compound were performed. We discussed the influence of fiber orientation, fiber length, and fiber diameter on tensile load and flexural load by changing the deformation speed.
