Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite material is used in many engineering applications due to its high strength to weight ratio and many other mechanical properties. In this article, special focus is done on the micromechanics of the composites. The bi-directional and 45 degrees angled specimen are tested mechanically and they were used for simulated calculations in the Helius Composite Autodesk software. The applications, which utilize the unique properties of such fabricated composites, are cited in this paper and future research needs are identified.
