The research involves the improvement of pitch-based carbon                fibers used in construction of composite materials.  Composites using           various shaped fibers are formed, the compressive properties are                tested, and comparisons made to predict optimum fiber shape.  Matrex            stress analyses for each fiber shape are considered theoretically.              The buckling load and moment of inertia of the fibers are determined            experimentally.  The matter of fiber formation is emphasized.  All              fibers are produced by the same method and under the same conditions-           melt spinning.  The                                                             experimental portion requires chemical processing combined with                 mechanical testing.                                                                  This project is one supported under the Creativity Awards                  for Undergraduate Engineering Students.
