Abstract

In the present work an attempt has been made in order to investigate the bending strength and flextural strength of the TiO2 and ZnS filled Glass Fabric Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites. The volume fractions in the matrix were chosen as 1, 2 and 3%. The effect of notch orientation on interlaminar and translaminar bending characteristics has been evaluated and Bending strength has been evaluated for specimens with edge cracks with varied crack lengths. The results have showed that, the addition of filler up to 2 vol% has increased the strength of the composite and ZnS as filler is preferred over TiO2.
