Long Term Strength of Chopped Glass Reinforced Plastics in Water,

Abstract

Data are presented on the long term strength of chopped strand mat glass reinforced polyester resin in water under both static and fatigue loading. The results may be described by a single semi-empirical equation which may be useful for long term extrapolation, but detailed understanding of the failure mechanism will require further study.
