Effects of High and Low Temperature on the Tensile Strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

In this paper, the tensile performance of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at high and low temperature was experimentally evaluated. GFRP laminates were manufactured using the wet hand lay-up assisted by vacuum bag, which has resulted in average fibre volume fraction of 0.45. Usin...
