Abstract |
|
Tenacity, the specific strength, of glass fabric reinforced polymer matrix (GFRP) composites has been evaluated. A reinforcement of plain woven glass fabric and a matrix of vinylester resin constituted the fabricated composites. The GFRP composites were fabricated by hand lay-up process and were tested for their tensile properties using the ASTM standards of testing. The determined tenacity of GFRP composites was comparable with that of certain engineering metals and alloys. |
