Abstract text:
The shear properties of pultruded composite plates are especially needed for the structural design of composite load bearing elements when one considers the shear capacity, the local buckling of plate type elements and some types of joints. The paper presents experimental results obtained on Iosipescu type samples cut from glass fibre reinforced polyester (GFRP) composite strips fabricated by pultrusion. It has been found out that the pultrusion process leads to composite products with uniform and controllable properties, and the fibre orientation is decisive in establishing the shear structural response.
Key Words:
glass fibres; isophthalic polyesteric resins; shear stress; shear modulus.
