Stochastic Modeling of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer

2011
Stochastic modeling of a material microstructure is in general composed of multiple steps. First, geometric properties of the sample are measured by image analysis. Second, an appropriate stochastic model is chosen and model parameters are estimated from the geometric properties.

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites – a review

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 2014
Glass fibers reinforced polymer composites have been prepared by various manufacturing technology and are widely used for various applications. Initially, ancient Egyptians made containers by glass fibers drawn from heat softened glass. Continues glass fibers were first manufactured in the 1930s for high-temperature electrical application. Nowadays, it

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

2018
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), commonly called fiberglass, is used for a huge variety of applications including boat hulls, car bodies, roofing shingles, pipes, flooring and various containers and storage tanks. GFRP is referred to as a composite material since it is a combination of two different materials, that is, glass fibers in the form of

“Brick-and-Mortar” Nanostructured Interphase for Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
The fiber-matrix interface plays a critical role in determining composite mechanical properties. While a strong interface tends to provide high strength, a weak interface enables extensive debonding, leading to a high degree of energy absorption. Balancing these conflicting requirements by engineering composite interfaces to improve strength and ...

Performance of Hollow Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Rebars

Journal of Composites for Construction, 1999
The results of bond and tensile strength investigation of hollow glass-fiber reinforced plastic rebars are presented. Rebars with similar geometries but different microstructures were evaluated. Bond characteristics of on- and off-axis specimens, in terms of maximum sustained load, bond strength and stress, concrete compressive strength, and initial ...

Concrete Columns Reinforced by Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rods

SP-188: 4th Intl Symposium - Fiber Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement for Reinforced Concrete Structures, 1999
A total of 15 concrete columns were cast and tested to investigate the influence of replacing longitidunal and/or tie steel bars by an equal volume of amount of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) bars on the behavior of concrete columns. The columns were subjected to concentric monotonic axial loading.

EXCIMER LASER ABLATION OF GLASS FIBER IN REINFORCED POLYMER

Materials and Manufacturing Processes, 2002
In excimer laser ablation of glass fiber reinforced polymer, the fibers were found to be acting as refocusing lenses and caused partial fiber removal within the fiber. An analytical analysis based on Snell's law of refraction was used to calculate the laser intensity within the fiber, and the results of which were able to explain the partial removal ...

Shock response of a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composite

Composite Structures, 2003
Abstract The present work describes the compression and release response of a glass-fiber-reinforced polyester composite (GRP) under shock loading to 20 GPa. Shock experiments in GRP were performed at Sandia National Laboratories and the US Army Research Laboratory. GRP is a heterogeneous material.

Direct Observation of Interfaces between Glass Fibers and Polymers in Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics

1990
The interface between glass fibers, which coated with a binder system and matrix polymer in glass fiber reinforced plastics is investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) using new method for making ultra thin specimens.
