Abstract

Abstract: Multi-perspective analyses on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) are a major concern of this work, in which bending and tensile loads focally applied. GFRPs are good composites, which have been developed to handle critical loads in an effectual manner with low price consumption. Instead of external research, this work focused to work on the optimization of the internal component of GFRPs. The component shortlisted for this research is reinforcement and its orientational angles. From the literature survey, 38 different orientational models are generated for the flexural tests, and 22 different orientational models are created for tensile tests. Three primary fibers are used for this optimization, which are E-Glass-UD, E-Glass-Wet, and S-Glass-UD. Commonly, Epoxy resin is used as a matrix for all the tests. The inputs of these computational simulations are External peak loads, which are estimated from experimental tests. The computational procedures are verified with Grid convergence test and analytical approach based validations. Finally, the structural analyses are computed and thereby models are optimized for both flexural and tensile loading conditions. Model 27 is reached the first position under flexural load and Model 1 is obtained the first position under tensile load based on low stiffness. In addition to that, Model 20 is also performed better than other models under flexural loads.
