Evaluation of Carbon Fiber Composite With Wood-Like Material Property

Key Points

The aim is to assess the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced foam and compare them to those of wood.
Conducted compression, partial compression, bending, and shear tests on CFRF, cedar, and Douglas fir.
Followed wood standards for testing methodology.
Evaluated workability of CFRF in comparison to wood materials.
CFRF exhibited deformation properties similar to those of wood.
Demonstrated potential workability as a building material due to favorable mechanical properties.

Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced foam (CFRF) is a material composed of carbon fibers, resin, and voids. In this study, we focused on a common structural feature between CFRF and wood from the perspective of fiber reinforced porous material, and evaluated CFRF to understand its usefulness as a building material. We verified the workability of CFRF, and performed compression, partial compression, bending, and shear tests on CFRF, cedar, and Douglas fir in accordance with wood standards. As a result, we clarified that CFRF has deformation properties like those of wood.
