Abstract

A comprehensive study of the fatigue behaviour of a polyurethane acrylate resin and glass fibre reinforced composites has been undertaken. In the first part, three types of resins were tested: polyurethane vinyl ester, polyester and polyurethane acrylate, which was formulated to have superior proper...
