| Abstract | ||
| Mechanical properties of vinyl ester resin reinforced with different weight percentage (20%,40%,60%) glass fibers was studied theoretically using Ansys program version (11) and these properties included tensile and flexural strength. The standard specification (ISO-R-527)+(ASTM D790) were used to fabricant the tensile and flexural test samples respectively by Ansys program. The theoretical results shows that high tensile and flexural strength value for vinyl ester resin after reinforcing with glass fibers due to high elastic modulus for these fibers and this strength will increase with increasing percentage of fibers, which agree with the experimental results obtained from tensile test . | ||
