Pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (pGFRP) composites provide outstanding properties for composite polymer cross arms in power transmission line applications. This study has investigated the effects of various stacking sequences of fibres directions of pGFRP on flexural strength and creep behaviour. The use of static four-point bending flexural tests revealed that Stacking Sequence 2 (±45/0/90/0/90/0) had a significant flexural strength of 399.9 MPa while Stacking Sequence 1 (±45/90/0/±45) had a flexural strength of 242.5 MPa. Furthermore, the four-point bending creep experiments were performed at three distinct stress levels, notably 12%, 24%, and 37% of the ultimate flexural strength, to characterise the creep behaviour of distinct stacking sequences. Moreover, Findley's power law equation for bending creep behaviour has revealed that the time-dependent reduction factor of Stacking Sequence 1 and Stacking Sequence 2 estimates a drop in flexural modulus of 23% and 10% respectively.
拉挤玻璃纤维增强聚合物(pGFRP)复合材料在输电线路应用中为复合聚合物横担提供了出色的性能。本研究调查了pGFRP纤维方向的各种堆叠顺序对弯曲强度和蠕变行为的影响。使用静态四点弯曲试验表明,堆叠顺序2(±45/0/90/0/90/0)具有399.9MPa的显著弯曲强度,而堆叠顺序1(±45/90/0/±45)的弯曲强度为242.5MPa。此外,在三个不同的应力水平下进行了四点弯曲蠕变实验,分别为极限弯曲强度的12%、24%和37%,以表征不同堆叠顺序的蠕变行为。此外,Findley弯曲蠕变行为的幂律方程表明,堆叠顺序1和堆叠顺序2的时间相关折减系数分别估计弯曲模量下降23%和10%。
