Features of designing and calculation of structural elements manufactured of fiberglass plastics using method of pressure

Pressed plastics are some type of plastics with fiberglass reinforcement. They are manufactured using the method of direct hot pressure. Many different factors, such as orientation and length of fibers, quantity of reinforcement, the ele-ment’s size, etc., strongly influence the strength of such materials. All these factors should be taken into consideration by engineers designing details made of these materials. © 2021, Univelt Inc. All rights reserved.
