Σύνοψη

This project as the title implies is one ~hich investigates
both theoretically and experimentally the mechanical
properties of composites. The composites chosen for study are fiber reinforced plastics (FRP),due to their importance in engineering and their availability in Cyprus market . The objectives of the project are,to study and present theoretical and empirical formulations for estimating _ the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced plastiCS,to prepare and test suitable specimens and finally to compare theoretical and experimental results.Preparation and testing of the specimens was carried according to British standards.As it was expected,it was proved that by increasing reinforcement content mechanical properties of composites are increased. However by increasing reinforcement content some
other properties such as weather and chemical resistance
decrease so when fabricating composites great care should be taken to have optimum performance for the particular application.Finally it was appreciated that actual mechanical properties of F.R.P. can only be established with confidence by testing.
