Mechanical characterization of particulated FRP composite pipes: A comprehensive experimental study

Particulated fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pipes encompass unidirectional continuous glass fibers (hoop glass), resin (thermoset polymer vinylester) matrix, chop glass (discontinuous short fibers), and particulate reinforcement (sand) impregnated into resin. They are categorized based on...

Mechanical characterization of particulated FRP composite pipes: A comprehensive experimental study
description Particulated fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pipes encompass unidirectional continuous glass fibers (hoop glass), resin (thermoset polymer vinylester) matrix, chop glass (discontinuous short fibers), and particulate reinforcement (sand) impregnated into resin. They are categorized based on their nominal diameter, pressure class, and stiffness class. Mechanical characteristics of this class of composite materials have not, to date, been comprehensively studied. As such, this paper presents a systematic approach toward comprehensive experimental investigation into their mechanical characterizations in terms of the axial and hoop tensile strengths. The particulated FRP composite pipes used in the current study have glass fibers reinforced along the hoop direction at approximately 89° angle. To assure the experimental data accuracy and reliability, three batches associated with each pipe category were selected which slightly differ in the composition of their constituents.
