A method was devised to determine the fiber content in Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) by the microwave technique and the result was as follows:The fiber content in Carbon FRP (CFRP) and Glass FRP (GFRP) could be determined from the trans mission loss of microwave with a high accuracy. The relation between the fiber content and the transmission loss of microwave in the case of GFRP differed from that of CFRP. The fiber content of CFRP having more than 10 plies of carbon cloth could not be measured by this technique due to the larger transmission loss of CFRP.The fiber content could be measured by this method when the resin in FRP was not only solid, but also in liquid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
