Abstract

The paper focuses on the influence of technology and atmosphere on the strength of fiberglass-reinforced polymer-matrix composite materials. Two technologies were analyzed: RIM (Resin Infusion Molding) and RTM (Resin Transfer Molding). The strength was modeled for different operating conditions and different fiber orientations. Other physical and mechanical properties of a polymer-matrix composite were also studied.
