Failure of an Advanced Five Layers RT800 Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents mechanical properties of five layers RT800 glass mat laminate impregnated with polyester resin and subjected to three-point bending tests until break. The RT800 glass mat used as reinforcement presents randomly disposed short glass fibers with 845 g/m2 specific weight. From the cured plate, twenty specimens have been cut and placed on a three-point bending device and tested using a materials testing machine with servo hydraulic command. The specimens have been carried out at Compozite Ltd Brasov and the experimental tests have been accomplished at SC INAR SA Brasov and Transilvania University of Brasov. Outstanding mechanical properties of this kind of material have been found in which the specimens have suffered delamination mainly in their median part.
