ABSTRACT

The composite material is a bonding of several materials, which are of different physical and mechanical properties, to create a new material with properties that cannot be achieved by any of the components acting alone in the final form of the designed part. The performance of the composite depends of the properties of each component and how strongly they bonded to each other. Otherwise, the properties of the composite will be that of the weakest one as in the chain strength is that the minimum link. The heterogeneity of the properties of composite components requires uniform distribution of the components in space of the composite architect 284and minimizes the anisotropic properties of the components used. This required continues testing of each component with the main objectives:

Check the properties of the raw material used;

Check the designed composite properties;

Quality assurance of the produced composite properties;

Compliance of composite material to applicable standards and specifications;

Verify supplier specifications.
