The reaction of a glass-reinforced composite system to a service load is a complex function of the physical and mechanical properties of its compnents (matrix and reinforcement); the relative directionality of the applied loads versus the gemetry of the reinforcement (anisotropic effect); and the magnitude of the applied loads and the rate at which they are introduced to the system (viscoelastic effect). This study tests and presents these effects for a variety of glass reinforcements. Among them are 1) the effect of reinforced form on ''cycles to leakage'' of glass-reinforced epoxy-resin compounds; 2) four-point bend tests of epoxy resin cycles; 3) material properties tables of fiberglass fabric-reinforced Cryoglas resin, Cryoglas chopped mat cryogenic FRP laminate, and hybrid cryogenic FRP laminate; 4) time-dependent mechanical performance; 5) creep-stress rupture data on G-10 and Cryoglas mat laminates; and 5) fatigue performance of bonded samples at -270 degrees Fahrenheit.
