1. Physical, mechanical, or chemical characteristics of a composite material that result from the combination of its constituent components (matrix and reinforcement)
The composite properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer include high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance.
As propriedades compostas do polímero reforçado com fibra de carbono incluem alta relação resistência-peso e excelente resistência à fadiga.
2. In materials science, the combined attributes of a composite that differ from the individual properties of its parent materials
Engineers must understand composite properties to design structures that meet specific performance requirements.
Os engenheiros devem compreender as propriedades compostas para projetar estruturas que atendam aos requisitos de desempenho específicos.
