X-AXIS
The axis in the plane of the laminate used as 0( reference.
X-Y PLANE
In composite laminates, the reference plane parallel to the plane of the laminate.
Y-AXIS
The axis in the plane of the laminate perpendicular to the X-axis.
YARN
Continuously twisted fibers or strands suitable for use in weaving into fabrics.
YIELD STRENGTH
The stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting deviation from the proportionality of stress to strain; the lowest stress at which a material undergoes plastic deformation. Below this stress, the material is elastic; above it, viscous.
YOUNG'S MODULUS
The ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain below the proportional limit.
Z-AXIS
The reference axis normal to the laminate plane in composite laminates.
ZERO BLEED
Laminate fabrication procedure that does not allow loss of resin during cure.
