MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITE – A REVIEW

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Fiber reinforced plastic composites or as called fiber-reinforced polymer, consists many rewards such as its ultimate strength, its low density, and easier processing procedures. Thus, the fiber-Reinforced polymer is used in many fields for instance: in automotive, constructions, as well as in aerospace. Merging two or more fibers into one mixture polymer matrix guides to develop the hybrid composite. The mechanical properties of single fiber-reinforced polymer composite can be improved by the process of Hybridization. The resin and aggregates can be seen as a polymer concrete composite material signs. The (FRPs) are used instead of the steel in both rehabilitation and construction projects because of their non-corrosive and their light weight Thus they are non-magnetic, inert from the prospective of the chemical composition, also they can be applied easily. In addition, they are suitable economically for strengthening, rehabilitating and seismic retrofit of columns, beams, joints, and many more other uses in structures. In this paper, the mechanical properties of the Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is presented in this paper
