“…The introduction of higher-volume and lower-cost fibers, linked with accretions in productivity, has decreased the manufacturing costs of GFRP and CFRP composites. Considering that cost is an important factor influencing demand, maintained advancements in production, along with enhanced availability, are required to promote rising consumption in all areas and applications [192][193][194][195][196][197]. In the United States, CF composites used will likely develop in mass-produced automobiles, contributing lower weight, extra fuel efficiency and more economical emissions; however, more expensive costs will proceed to limit popular use [200].…”

Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the study of lightweight composite materials. Due to their tailorable properties and unique characteristics (high strength, flexibility and stiffness), glass (GFs) and carbon (CFs) fibers are widely used in the production of advanced polymer matrix composites. Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have been developed by different fabrication methods and are extensively used for diverse engineering applications. A considerable amount of research papers have been published on GFRP and CFRP composites, but most of them focused on particular aspects. Therefore, in this review paper, a detailed classification of the existing types of GFs and CFs, highlighting their basic properties, is presented. Further, the oldest to the newest manufacturing techniques of GFRP and CFRP composites have been collected and described in detail. Furthermore, advantages, limitations and future trends of manufacturing methodologies are emphasized. The main properties (mechanical, vibrational, environmental, tribological and thermal) of GFRP and CFRP composites were summarized and documented with results from the literature. Finally, applications and future research directions of FRP composites are addressed. The database presented herein enables a comprehensive understanding of the GFRP and CFRP composites’ behavior and it can serve as a basis for developing models for predicting their behavior.

“…In addition, for reducing the weight and enhancing the hardness and strength of the automobile parts, an eco-friendly polymer composite can be used [ 85 , 86 ]. In this case, the epoxy resin represents the matrix of the composite, and the glass and palm fibers strengthened reinforcement [ 87 ]. It has been reported that by increasing the phase ratio of the fiber particles, the tensile strength of the composite is significantly improved [ 88 ].…”

In the last decade, synthetic fiber, as a reinforcing specialist, has been mainly used in polymer matrix composites (PMC’s) to provide lightweight materials with improved stiffness, modulus, and strength. The significant feature of PMC’s is their reinforcement. The main role of the reinforcement is to withstand the load applied to the composite. However, in order to fulfill its purpose, the reinforcements must meet some basic criteria such as: being compatible with the matrix, making chemical or adhesion bonds with the matrix, having properties superior to the matrix, presenting the optimal orientation in composite and, also, having a suitable shape. The current review reveals a detailed study of the current progress of synthetic fibers in a variety of reinforced composites. The main properties, failure modes, and applications of composites based on synthetic fibers are detailed both according to the mentioned criteria and according to their types (organic or inorganic fibers). In addition, the choice of classifications, applications, and properties of synthetic fibers is largely based on their physical and mechanical characteristics, as well as on the synthesis process. Finally, some future research directions and challenges are highlighted.

“…Pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) sections have shown potential application for bridges [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], building construction [ 5 ], and strengthening [ 6 , 7 , 8 ] due to the lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance characteristics. Pultruded GFRP is an orthotropic material with mostly unidirectional fibres aligned along the pultrusion direction.…”

Shear Response of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Built-Up Hollow and Lightweight Concrete Filled Beams: An Experimental and Numerical Study

et al. 2020

This paper investigated the static behaviour of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) built-up hollow and concrete filled built-up beams tested under four-point bending with a span-to-depth ratio of 1.67, therefore focusing their shear performance. Two parameters considered for hollow sections were longitudinal web stiffener and strengthening at the web–flange junction. The experimental results indicated that the GFRP hollow beams failed by web crushing at supports; therefore, the longitudinal web stiffener has an insignificant effect on improving the maximum load. Strengthening web–flange junctions using rectangular hollow sections increased the maximum load by 47%. Concrete infill could effectively prevent the web crushing, and it demonstrated the highest load increment of 162%. The concrete filled GFRP composite beam failed by diagonal tension in the lightweight concrete core. The finite element models adopting Hashin damage criteria yielded are in good agreement with the experimental results in terms of maximum load and failure mode. Based on the numerical study, the longitudinal web stiffener could prevent the web buckling of the slender GFRP beam and improved the maximum load by 136%. The maximum load may be further improved by increasing the thickness of the GFRP section and the size of rectangular hollow sections used for strengthening. It was found that the bond–slip at the concrete–GFRP interface affected the shear resistance of concrete–GFRP composite beam.
