  - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Composite materials, such as fiber reinforced
    polymers, become increasingly important due to their excellent mechanical and
    lightweight properties. In this respect, this paper reports the characterization
    of a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite material. Particularly,
    the mechanical behavior of the overall composite and of the individual constituents
    of the composite is investigated. To this end, tensile and shear tests are performed
    for the composite. As a result, statistics for five transversely isotropic material
    parameters can be established for the composite. For the description of the mechanical
    properties of the constituents, tensile tests for the carbon fiber as well as
    for the polymer matrix are carried out. In addition, the volume fraction of fibers
    in the matrix is determined experimentally using an ashing technique and Archimedes’
    principle. For the Young’s modulus of the fiber, the Young’s modulus and transverse
    contraction of the matrix, as well as the volume fraction of the constituents,
    statistics can be concluded. The resulting mechanical properties on both scales
    are useful for the application and validation of different material models and
    homogenization methods. Finally, in order to validate the obtained properties
    in the future, inhomogeneous tests were performed, once a flat plate with a hole
    and a flat plate with semicircular notches.</jats:p>@eng
