A comparative study of the behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polyester composite laminates under static loading Universiteit Gent
Glass fiber-reinforced polyester matrix composites are increasingly used because of their many advantages, namely, lightness, cost, strength, and ease of processing. Thus, they can meet sometimes special needs that conventional materials cannot meet. Nevertheless, their properties depend on the nature of the plies used, e.g. UD, mat, woven, and the stacking sequence. This work aims to study the mechanical behavior of several composites ...
