The Source and Magnitudes of Variation in the Strength of ‘Typical Aircraft Quality’ G.R.P. Laminates

Abstract

THE mechanical properties of 112 nominally identical glass reinforced laminates prepared by four different organisations have been determined. A statistical analysis of the results investigated the effect of variability in the raw materials and laminating techniques. It was concluded that the total variability was approximately 7 per cent.
