The Strength of Sheets and Joints in Unwoven Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic Laminates.

Abstract

Tests have been made in tension, compression and bending on specimens from laminated unwoven glass fiber composite sheet of various fiber orientations, and in tension on simple joints in the same types of sheet. The general objective was to extend the basis of coupon strength testing to obtain more general structural design information, to note any relevant peculiarities of strength and stiffness behavior, and to investigate methods of jointing the material.
