%X This
work addresses the tensile properties of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP)
and investigates the different ways of estimating them without the cost
associated with experimentation. This attempt is achieved through comparison
between experimental results, derived in accordance with the ASTM standards,
and results obtained using the mechanics of composite materials. The
experimental results are also compared to results derived from work by other
researchers in order to corroborate the findings regarding the correlation of
tensile properties of the GFRP material and the fiber volume fraction.
