“…As presented in Figure 8, BF composite showed 45% higher apparent hoop tensile strength compared to GF composite. Results found in literature comparing these composites strength are between 13-15% higher 12,27,28 , and the more pronounced difference can be explained by the higher average wall thickness of BF in comparison to GF composite specimens 29,30 . Without the effect of difference in wall thickness, another circumferential strength test like hydrostatic test could be used to verify the higher strength of tubular BF composite in comparison to GF composite.…”

“…These various similarities motivated comparisons between their polymer reinforced composites which found promising potential use for BF in fields where GF is already largely applied 11,12,13 . Experimentally measuring the load carrying capacity of a vessel can be expensive and impractical given the different design configurations possible by changing the layup 14 .…”

The application of basalt fibers are possible in many areas thanks to its multiple and good properties. It exhibits excellent resistance to alkalis, similar to glass fiber, at a much lower cost than carbon and aramid fibers. In the present paper, a comparative study on mechanical properties of basalt and E-glass fiber composites was performed. Results of apparent hoop tensile strength test of ring specimens cut from tubes and the interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) test are presented. Tensile tests using split disk method provide reasonably accurate properties with regard to the apparent hoop tensile strength of polymer reinforced composites. Comparison between the two tubes showed higher basalt fiber composite performance on apparent hoop tensile strength (45% higher) and on the interfacial property interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) (11% higher). New data obtained in this work on basalt fiber composite tubes confirm the literature for basalt fiber composite with other geometries, where it overcomes mechanical properties of the widely used glass fiber composites.

“…The hardener and accelerator were Butanox LPT (MEKP, 2 wt.%) and NL-51P (Cobalt 2-ethylhexanoate, 1 wt.%), respectively. The laminates were manufactured by a laboratory Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) system described in [9]. From the laminates were removed the specimens for mechanical characterization.…”

“…Moreover, basalt fibres, not containing additives in a single producing process, present an additional advantage in cost. Also, a previous study aimed at the comparison and discussion of the electrical properties of composites reinforced with basalt and E-glass woven fabrics, suggested that dielectric behaviour of the two composites in the frequency range 10 kHz-1 MHz is almost identical [9]. All the above findings would indicate that the combined use of basalt and glass fibres may have some scope: broadening the application field of the final material would also possibly result in a prospective reduced cost, without affecting its properties.…”

“…The Young's modulus can be enhanced by increasing the volume of fibre in the composite. 5,6 Though the glass fibre has vital mechanical properties but still the other fibres such as carbon fibre, aramid fibre, ceramic fibre, provide better mechanical properties compared to the glass fibre. The major drawback of these fibres is high cost and less abundance.…”

This work covers the fabrication and investigation of the mechanical behaviour of a glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite embedded with a stainless-steel wire mesh (SSWM) layer. This work takes the hybridising approach in improving the mechanical properties of GFRP through the incorporation of SSWM into the laminates. The structure of the composite is such that the SSWM was placed in the top, middle and bottom of the GFRP. The laminates are fabricated using the hand-layup method with a 40 % weight fractions of epoxy resin, 50 % weight fractions of woven glass fibre and the remainder being SSWM. The mechanical characteristics of the composites are obtained using tensile, flexural, inter delamination and drop weight impact tests. In addition to that, a morphological investigation is made utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The test outcome demonstrates that the introduction of SSWM leads to far better mechanical properties than GFRP and SSWM in the middle layer has a superior strength compared to other laminates. Keywords: glass fibre reinforced polymer, stainless-steel wire mesh, mechanical tests, ultimate strength, SEM Delo obravnava izdelavo in preiskavo mehanskih lastnosti polimera, oja~anega s steklenimi vlakni (angl. GFRP) v katerem je vgrajena ploskovna`i~na mre`a iz nerjavnega jekla (angl. SSWM). To delo predstavlja hibridiziran pribli`ek za izbolj{anje mehanskih lastnosti GFRP z vgraditvijo SSWM v laminate. Kompozit je sestavljen tako, da je bila SSWM name{~ena zgoraj, v sredini in spodaj. Laminati so izdelani z ro~nim polaganjem 40 masnimi % epoksi smole, 50 masnimi % tkanine iz steklenih vlaken, ostalo pa je SSWM. Mehanske lastnosti kompozitov so dolo~ene z nateznim in z upogibnim preizkusom, z razslojevanjem in z udarno`ilavostjo. Dodatno k temu je izvedena tudi morfolo{ka preiskava s pomo~jo vrsti~nega elektronskega mikroskopa (SEM). Rezultati preizkusov ka`ejo, da vstavitev SSWM bolj izbolj{a mehanske lastnosti kot GFRP, SSWM v sredini pa izbolj{a trdnost v primerjavi z ostalimi laminati. Klju~ne besede: steklena vlakna, jeklo oja~ano s polimeri, ploskovna`i~na mre`a iz nerjavnega jekla, mehanski preizkusi, natezna trdnost, SEM
