The Effect of Fiber Winding Angles on the Bending Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Rods

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fiber-reinforced plastics consist of fibers of high strength and modulus embedded in, or bonded to a matrix with distinct interfaces between them. Because fiber configuration plays a key role in determining mechanical strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods, especially bending strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods was measured and simulated numerically in variation with winding angles. Also, stress distribution in fiber-reinforced plastic rods was simulated numerically under the condition of constant bending load to fiber-reinforced plastic rods. The measured bending strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods in variation with winding angles was different from that of simulated. The difference between measured and simulated results was due to the effect of shear stresses on the strength of fiber-reinforced plastic rods.
