Significance of stainless steel wire reinforcement on the mechanical properties of GFRP composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigations on flexural and tensile properties of GFRP laminates influenced by stainless steel wire reinforcement were carried out as a novel approach. Plain GFRP laminates and GFRP laminates reinforced with stainless steel wires at different depth with various pitch distances were fabricated by hand layup method. The composite specimens reinforced with steel wires were exposed to low frequency high amplitude cyclic load by using a cam arrangement. Three point bend test was carried out on those specimen to evaluate the flexural strength and flexural modulus. Also, tensile strength of the laminates was evaluated. It has been observed that the reinforcement of stainless steel wires has significantly improved the mechanical properties of the laminates.
