This folder includes all experimental data for the Forged Molding Compound material of Mitsubishi, which is available under the name STR120N131.
Hereby, the material is a sheet molding compound (SMC) consisting out of 25.4 mm x 8 mm x 0.115 mm carbon fiber bundles (Toray TR50S), embedded in a vinyl ester thermoset matrix.
For a full characterization of the material flow behavior the following tests were performed at 80°C and 100°C.
The structural properties of the cured SMC material were analysed for different plate thicknesses (2mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm) by
-) Tensile tests
-) Three point bending tests
-) Dynamic mechanical analysis including temperature and frequency sweeps
