FRP Materials Under Stretching Load
Description
Fiber-reinforced polymeric materials, or FRP materials, are composite materials made of long fibers embedded in a polymer resin. The fibers are arranged in aligned, parallel directions. This gives the material orthotropic behavior, which means it responds differently depending on the direction of the load.

Transcript
Fiber-reinforced polymeric materials, FRP, are composite materials that are formed by embedding fibers in a polymeric resin, creating a matrix that is very strong in the direction of the fibers.
In their simplest form, fibers in FRP materials are aligned orderly in one direction, and encased in resin, causing the material to behave orthot...
