COMPÓSITOS: análise de diferentes orientações nos reforços de fibra de vidro

Abstract

Composites or plastics reinforced with glass fibers are materials of low cost, high performance, light, strong, resistant to the corrosion of chemical substances. These characteristics are important for the development of new technologies in the engineering areas and require knowledge about the mechanical properties, design criteria and processes available for obtaining laminates. Therefore, the correct sizing of the equipment with the purpose of cost reduction must be carried out through a previous analysis of the most economical process to be used, before the execution. The analysis is made comparing the mechanical properties of the laminates, which have different compositions, and the specification of the laminate type should be made according to the design needs.
