Abstract
Glass Fiber Reinforced polymer (GFRP) structures are chiefly manufactured using the hand lay-up or carpet sweeper infusion techniques, which are efficient for the gist of able-bodied sailor vessels and aviation industry. The scope of this study is to assess the tensile strength, flexural strength and Izod impact strength analysis on a bidirectional Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP)/0.3mm diameter steel wire embedded laminates. Laminates fabricated with [90/0/0/90], lay-ups of steel wire placed at ¼ th & ¾ th thick with 3, 5 & 7 mm pitch intervals have been fabricated. The tensile strength, flexural strength and total energy absorbed by the specimens were evaluated for both GFRP and Steel Wire embedded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SWGFRP) sample. From the results, it was evaluating the tensile strength, flexural strength and the impact resistance were enhanced due to the influence of steel wire in the samples at a range of thicknesses.
