Does anyone know (or know where I can find) some general/basic numbers for comparing the strength (lateral, and other ways engineers measure strength), abrasion resistance, and weight for these three composites — to say — mild carbon steel, aluminum, etc?
I’m doing a 10 minute presentation for my communications class and am bringing in a bunch of different kinds of fiberglass and some carbon and Kevlar weaves. I also will have a Powerpoint presentation with some facts and pictures, but I am TERRIBLE at finding information like this on the Internet.
The numbers don’t have to be exact. I could say something like “Carbon fibre is around 6 times stronger than 6000 series aluminum (per weight)” or something like that. Maybe just make a graph so it’s pretty for them (because I’m thinking this is going to be VERY boring for 90% of the class.
