Carbon Fiber Sheet Deflection

Central Deflection example of Quasi-Isotropic and Bi-Directional skinned sandwich panels compared to 1 inch thick Aluminum and Steel Plates

 

Physical properties of carbon fiber, carbon fiber sheets, analysis of carbon fiber 

-Composite Panels deflection from The Handbook of Sandwich Construction

-Aluminum and Steel Plate deflection from Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain

-Plate loaded by a Uniform distributed load, simply supported along edge. Deflection estimated at the panel/plate center.
