Abstract
We describe experimental studies on the anisotropic elastic constants and internal friction of reinforced composites. Reinforcement types include fiber and fabric. Studied materials include boron-aluminum, glassepoxy, boron-epoxy, graphite-epoxy, and aramid-epoxy. We made most measurements with a Marx three-component oscillator at kilohertz frequencies. In all cases, elastic-constant direction dependence fit relationships derived for homogeneous monocrystals. Usually, elastic stiffness and internal friction show an inverse relationship. In no case did the inclusion-matrix interface appear to contribute significantly to internal friction .
