AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GFRP REINFORCED WITH SUGAR CANE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites may be made using a variety of production techniques, and they find widespread usage in a broad range of industries and applications. At first, the Egyptians constructed their vessels from of glass fibers that were extracted from heat-softened glass. The production of continued glass fibers began in the 1930s and was first targeted at high-temperature electrical applications. In modern times, it has found use in a variety of fields, including electronics, aircraft, automobiles, etc. Glass fibres have a number of desirable qualities, including high strength, flexibility, and stiffness, as well as resistance to the damaging effects of chemicals. It is possible for it to take the shape of roving, chopped strands, yarns, textiles, or mats. In the form of polymer composites, each kind of glass fibre has qualities that are distinct from the others and may be utilized for a variety of purposes. There was some reporting done on the mechanical characteristics of composites that included glass fiber-reinforced polymer.
