HMPE for example, has a specific gravity less than 1 and will float in water. • Corrosion Since our products are non-corrosive, they offer outstanding performance in corrosive environments, including marine and off- shore applications. • Conductivity High-performance synthetic fibers act as a barrier between eletrical components. • Creep When exposed to static long-term loads, synthetic fibers stretch very little.

The resulting tensile test data shown in Figure 1 gives an indication of the variation in material response that can be observed as a function of the fibre orientations. In reality, the material response can fall anywhere between the curves shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Tensile test data as a function of the fibre orientation 0° (orange), 45° (green), 90° (blue) https://www.hexagonmi.com Figure 4: Failure location in the flexural test for the isotropic modelling Figure 6: Failure location in the tensile test for the isotropic modelling approach (left), Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (middle) and reality (right) Figure 3: Flexural test results with the isotropic modelling approach (orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green) Figure 5: Tensile test results with the isotropic modelling approach (orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green) Figure 5 shows the tensile test results with, again, a convincing advantage for the Digimat anisotropic modelling approach against the isotropic modelling approach.
