Materials technology is an excellent opportunity to be developed industrially and on a needs scale according to the demands of society, namely supporting the environment, low maintenance, and long-term use. Using composite materials with reinforced polymers is a hot topic of discussion in civil engineering as new materials, strength/stiffness enhancers,

Numerical Modelling of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Cross Arm
Composites are not isotropic like their metal counterparts, e.g. steel and aluminum, as they are made of two distinctive phases known as the matrix and the reinforcing phases. In addition, weight, fiber direction, fiber composition and even the manufacturing process are all critical factors in determining the strength, stiffness and the behaviour of a ...
