Mechanical property and fracture mechanism of glass fiber reinforced polymer and carbon fiber reinforced polymer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
In the automotive field, most of the manufacturers are looking to replace the material steel, aluminium with lightweight material like carbon fiber or glass fiber composite. The purpose are due to their relatively high strength, higher chemical resistance, flexible usage temperature and higher stiffness than steel.
