Abstract

The paper presents the researches upon some composite materials created for orthopaedic use in order to meet the requirements related to cost and mechanical properties. Several experimental approaches are presented for the new created material made of a combination of MAT and Roving, in order to determine the mechanical properties. The tests were performed for different orientations of the Roving fabric (warp and warp)..

Keywords
