Abstract: | The results of tests on wound glass-reinforced plastic specimens based on ÉFB-4 epoxy-phenolic-butyral composition and NS 55/6 glass strand reinforcement with a paraffin finish have been subjected to a statistical analysis with the object of determining the probability characteristics of the shear modulus. The shear modulus is determined for unidirectional structures and structures with reinforcement ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 3:2. The results of the tests are used to determine the mathematical expectation, variance, and probability density function of the shear modulus.Institute of Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.
