This paper presents numerical simulations regarding the elastic properties of ten plies RT300 glass fabric laminate impregnated with Polylite 440-M888 resin subjected to off-axis loading system as well as a comparison with experimental results obtained in tensile tests on thirteen specimens. To compute the elastic properties, the glass fabric laminate may be equivalent with a new laminate with plies sequence [0/90] 10 formed of unidirectional reinforced laminae. This equivalence can be considered accurate. Axial, transverse and shear moduli as well as axial-transverse Poisson ratio have been computed. The comparison between numerical simulations and experimental results obtained on “LS100 Plus” Lloyd Instruments materials testing machine show a good accordance between both types of data.

Within this paper, the material behavior of an advanced composite laminate subjected to static cyclic bending loads have been experimentally determined on an LR5KPlus Lloyd Instruments materials testing machine. The composite laminate structure is formed of HELIOPOL 9431ATYX_LSE resin reinforced with five layers STRATIMAT300 glass fibers of 300 g/m 2 specific weight. One composite specimen has been subjected to various deflection limits to determine its hysteresis behavior. The results show a maximum hysteresis towards 14 mm upper deflection limit.
