* Aluminium Alloys such as 2024, 6061 and 7075 can be used as a matrix and can be heat treated to give tensile strengths up to 550 MPa.
** Titanium alloys such as IMI 550, Ti-6Al-4V can be used as matrices and have yield strengths in the range 800 to 1500 MPa.
For shear modulus a good approximation is 3/8 of Elastic modulus.
