Abstract


The mechanical characteristics of glass fiber composite materials are time-dependent and typically show viscoelastic behavior. Since the use of these materials has increased dramatically in recent decades, it is necessary to determine their mechanical properties with the high precision. Used in different domains, from sporting goods to aeronautics, the study of behavior under load is useful for understanding how it affects the design capability under conditions of internal geometric complexity. The paper presents the fabrication concept of a glass fiber reinforced composite plate (GFRP) having stacking sequence [0°/90°] and the results obtained by uniaxial tensile tests on three cutting directions: longitudinal, transverse and 45° respectively, following the validation of the mechanical parameters performance. The elastic characteristics of the composite were determined by sinusoidal cyclic loading testing using the Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) three-point bending device. The tensile failure mode is analyzed on the basis of specific stress-strain characteristic curves.
