An Investigation into the Effects of Fibre Volume Fraction on GFRP Plate

This paper presents the mechanical properties of Glass Fibre Reinforce Plastic (GFRP) plates with different fibre volume fraction, Vf by considering both analytical and experimental method. The fibre used is chopped strand mat (CSM) type E-glass fibre where the matrix used is unsaturated polyest...
