Correlation between strength properties in standard test specimens and molded phenolic parts /

This report describes an investigation of the tensile, flexural, and impact properties of 10 selected types of phenolic molding materials. The materials were studied to see in what ways and to what extent their properties satisfy some assumptions on which the theory of strength of materials is based: namely, (a) isotropy, (b) linear stress-strain relationship for small strains, and (c) homogeneity. The effect of changing the dimensions of tensile and flexural specimens and the span-depth ratio in flexural tsts were studied. The strengths of molded boxes and flexural specimens cut from the boxes were compared with results of tests on standard test specimens molded from teh respective materials.NACA TN no. 1005."February 1946."Includes bibliographical references.This report describes an investigation of the tensile, flexural, and impact properties of 10 selected types of phenolic molding materials.
