Mechanical properties data

Displays five independent mechanical constants required to characterize a transversely isotropic elastic material.

These inputs specify the mechanical properties of the matrix (that is, of the base material without fibers or fillers) and include:

• Elastic modulus, 1st principle direction (E1).
• Elastic modulus, 2nd principle direction (E2).
• Poisson ratio (v12).
• Poisson ratio (v23).
• Shear modulus (G12).
