These individual materials are known as constituent materials, and there are two main categories of it.

The reinforcement receives support from the matrix as the matrix surrounds the reinforcement and maintains its relative positions. The properties of the matrix are improved as the reinforcements impart their exceptional physical and mechanical properties. The mechanical properties become unavailable from the individual constituent materials by synergism. At the same time, the designer of the product or structure receives options to choose an optimum combination from the variety of matrix and strengthening materials. </p><p>To shape the engineered composites, it must be formed. The reinforcement is placed onto the mould surface or into the <a href="/wiki/Molding_(process)" title="Molding (process)">mould</a> cavity. Before or after this, the matrix can be introduced to the reinforcement. The matrix undergoes a melding event which sets the part shape necessarily. This melding event can happen in several ways, depending upon the matrix nature, such as solidification from the melted state for a thermoplastic polymer matrix composite or chemical <a href="/wiki/Polymerization" title="Polymerization">polymerization</a> for a <a href="/wiki/Thermoset_polymer_matrix" title="Thermoset polymer matrix">thermoset polymer matrix</a>. </p><p>According to the requirements of end-item design, various methods of moulding can be used. The natures of the chosen matrix and reinforcement are the key factors influencing the methodology. The gross quantity of material to be made is another main factor. To support high capital investments for rapid and automated manufacturing technology, vast quantities can be used. Cheaper capital investments but higher labour and tooling expenses at a correspondingly slower rate assists the small production quantities. </p><p>Many commercially produced composites use a <a href="/wiki/Polymer" title="Polymer">polymer</a> matrix material often called a resin solution. There are many different polymers available depending upon the starting raw ingredients. There are several broad categories, each with numerous variations. The most common are known as <a href="/wiki/Polyester" title="Polyester">polyester</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vinyl_ester_resin" title="Vinyl ester resin">vinyl ester</a>, <a href="/wiki/Epoxy" title="Epoxy">epoxy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Phenolic_resin" class="mw-redirect" title="Phenolic resin">phenolic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Polyimide" title="Polyimide">polyimide</a>, <a href="/wiki/Polyamide" title="Polyamide">polyamide</a>, <a href="/wiki/Polypropylene" title="Polypropylene">polypropylene</a>, <a href="/wiki/PEEK" class="mw-redirect" title="PEEK">PEEK</a>, and others. The reinforcement materials are often fibres but also commonly ground minerals. The various methods described below have been developed to reduce the resin content of the final product, or the fibre content is increased. As a rule of thumb, lay up results in a product containing 60% resin and 40% fibre, whereas vacuum infusion gives a final product with 40% resin and 60% fibre content. The strength of the product is greatly dependent on this ratio. </p><p>Martin Hubbe and Lucian A Lucia consider <a href="/wiki/Wood" title="Wood">wood</a> to be a natural composite of <a href="/wiki/Cellulose_fibre" class="mw-redirect" title="Cellulose fibre">cellulose fibres</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Matrix_(biology)" title="Matrix (biology)">matrix</a> of <a href="/wiki/Lignin" title="Lignin">lignin</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cores_in_composites">Cores in composites</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Composite_material&amp;action=edit&amp;section=6" title="Edit section: Cores in composites"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several layup designs of composite also involve a co-curing or post-curing of the prepreg with many other media, such as foam or honeycomb.

When a fibre has some angle of misorientation θ, several fracture modes are possible. For small values of θ the stress required to initiate fracture is increased by a factor of (cos θ)<sup>−2</sup> due to the increased cross-sectional area (<i>A</i> cos θ) of the fibre and reduced force (<i>F/</i>cos θ) experienced by the fibre, leading to a composite tensile strength of <i>σ<sub>parallel </sub>/</i>cos<sup>2</sup> θ where <i>σ<sub>parallel </sub></i> is the tensile strength of the composite with fibres aligned parallel with the applied force. </p><p>Intermediate angles of misorientation θ lead to matrix shear failure. Again the cross sectional area is modified but since <a href="/wiki/Shear_stress" title="Shear stress">shear stress</a> is now the driving force for failure the area of the matrix parallel to the fibres is of interest, increasing by a factor of 1/sin θ. Similarly, the force parallel to this area again decreases (<i>F/</i>cos θ) leading to a total tensile strength of <i>τ<sub>my</sub> /</i>sin&#160;θ cos&#160;θ where <i>τ<sub>my</sub></i> is the matrix shear strength. </p><p>Finally, for large values of θ (near π/2) transverse matrix failure is the most likely to occur, since the fibres no longer carry the majority of the load. Still, the tensile strength will be greater than for the purely perpendicular orientation, since the force perpendicular to the fibres will decrease by a factor of 1/sin θ and the area decreases by a factor of 1/sin θ producing a composite tensile strength of <i>σ<sub>perp</sub> /</i>sin<sup>2</sup>θ where <i>σ<sub>perp </sub></i> is the tensile strength of the composite with fibres align perpendicular to the applied force.<sup id="cite_ref-77" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-77"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>77<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png/220px-Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="120" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png/330px-Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png/440px-Composite_Strength_as_a_Function_of_Fiber_Misalignment.png 2x" data-file-width="840" data-file-height="458" /></a><figcaption>The graph depicts the three fracture modes a composite material may experience depending on the angle of misorientation relative to aligning fibres parallel to the applied stress.</figcaption></figure> <p>The majority of commercial composites are formed with random dispersion and orientation of the strengthening fibres, in which case the composite Young's modulus will fall between the isostrain and isostress bounds. However, in applications where the strength-to-weight ratio is engineered to be as high as possible (such as in the aerospace industry), fibre alignment may be tightly controlled. </p><p>Panel stiffness is also dependent on the design of the panel. For instance, the fibre reinforcement and matrix used, the method of panel build, thermoset versus thermoplastic, and type of weave. </p><p>In contrast to composites, isotropic materials (for example, aluminium or steel), in standard wrought forms, possess the same stiffness typically despite the directional orientation of the applied forces and/or moments. The relationship between forces/moments and strains/curvatures for an isotropic material can be described with the following material properties: Young's Modulus, the <a href="/wiki/Shear_modulus" title="Shear modulus">shear modulus</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Poisson%27s_ratio" title="Poisson&#39;s ratio">Poisson's ratio</a>, in relatively simple mathematical relationships. For the anisotropic material, it needs the mathematics of a second-order tensor and up to 21 material property constants. For the special case of orthogonal isotropy, there are three distinct material property constants for each of Young's Modulus, Shear Modulus and Poisson's ratio—a total of 9 constants to express the relationship between forces/moments and strains/curvatures. </p><p>Techniques that take benefit of the materials' anisotropic properties involve <a href="/wiki/Mortise_and_tenon" title="Mortise and tenon">mortise and tenon</a> joints (in natural composites such as wood) and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Pi_joint&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Pi joint (page does not exist)">pi joints</a> in synthetic composites. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mechanical_properties_of_composites">Mechanical properties of composites</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Composite_material&amp;action=edit&amp;section=16" title="Edit section: Mechanical properties of composites"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Particle_reinforcement">Particle reinforcement</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Composite_material&amp;action=edit&amp;section=17" title="Edit section: Particle reinforcement"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In general, particle reinforcement is <a href="/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms_of_materials" title="Strengthening mechanisms of materials">strengthening</a> the composites less than <a href="/wiki/Fiber" title="Fiber">fiber</a> reinforcement.

From characterizing technique i.e. tensile testing, the material properties were measured based on sample (1-2) coordinate system. The tensors above express stress-strain relationship in (1-2) coordinate system. While the known material properties is in the principal coordinate system (x-y) of material.

It is a continuous manufacturing process to produce products with constant cross sections such as profiles and sheets. Fig. 5.25 is a schematic illustration of general pultrusion setup. As shown in the figure, continuous fiber reinforcements are saturated (wet out) with desired resin matrix either in a resin bath or in resin injection chamber. The coated fibers then pass through heating and forming dies where curing of the resin and forming of the shape occur. After the die the composite is allowed to postcure while being pulled to the saw which cuts it into stock length. Different resin–fiber combinations are used to achieve the final desired properties</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Plastics+Processing&amp;rft.btitle=Introduction+to+Plastics+Engineering&amp;rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E143-%3C%2Fspan%3E177&amp;rft.date=2018&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1016%2FB978-0-323-39500-7.00005-8&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-323-39500-7&amp;rft.aulast=Shrivastava&amp;rft.aufirst=Anshuman&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AComposite+material" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-74"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-74">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1041539562">.mw-parser-output .citation{word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}</style><span class="citation patent"><a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US9435085B1/en">[1]</a>,&#32;"System and method for slip forming monolithic reinforced composite concrete structures having multiple functionally discrete components",&#32;issued 2015-05-24</span><span class="Z3988" title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Apatent&amp;rft.number=&amp;rft.cc=&amp;rft.title=System+and+method+for+slip+forming+monolithic+reinforced+composite+concrete+structures+having+multiple+functionally+discrete+components&amp;rft.date=2015-05-24"><span style="display: none;">&#160;</span></span> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210608191250/https://patents.google.com/patent/US9435085B1/en">Archived</a> 2021-06-08 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-75"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-75">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFKim2000" class="citation journal cs1">Kim, Hyoung Seop (September 2000).
