Abstract

Abstract: Temperature influence tests were carried out for the commonly used mechanical properties parameters of the new IMA/M21X composites, and the tensile tests at room temperature, 70 ℃, 120 ℃, 150 ℃, and 180 ℃ were carried out for the 0° and 90° ply test specimens, as well as the measurements of the shear modulus G₁₂,G₁₃, and G₂₃ at corresponding temperature conditions. The results show that the transverse modulus of elasticity is greatly affected by temperature, decreasing by 34.78% from room temperature to 180 ℃. TransversePoisson’s ratio approaches 0 and increases with increasingtemperature. The shear modulus decreases with increasing temperature, unlike the usual assumption that G₁₂=G₁₃, at room temperature, the material G₁₂ is 28.49% larger than G₁₃. The tensile modulus and in-plane shear modulus of IMA/M21X material are relatively superior, but the inter layer shear modulus is relatively weak. The mechanical parameters of IMA/M21X at room temperature and temperature were obtained, and the effect of temperature on the properties of IMA/M21X was investigated.
