Influence of Initial Imperfections on Buckling of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Plates Produced by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding

The increasing use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers produced by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding in civil infrastructure applications leads to the need for an appropriate research data. The VARTM produced structural elements are not limited in dimensions and material properties and typically are slender structures parts of which are...
