CYCLIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GLASS CLOTH REINFORCED POLYESTER AND EPOXY RESIN LAMINATES

Abstract

The effect of low frequency non-reversing cycling (stress not going through zero) on the ultimate tensile and compressive properties of glass cloth reinforced polyester and epoxy laminates was determined. Test data recorded from polyester and epoxy tensile and compression specimens cycled up to 100 times at room temperature and at 200 F gave no indication that ultimate mechanical properties of laminates are significantly affected.
