Isotropic properties of Glass fibres
Isotropic properties of Glass fibres
(OP)
Can anyone help me.
Is it so that Glass fibres (not the composite, only pure fibres) exibit isotropic properties, whereas carbon fibres and Aramid fibres do not? If so, is the properties of a GFRP along the fibre direction and across for GFRP anisotropic only because of the resin?
Thankful for any help.

As far as I'm aware glass fibers do not have any significant internal orientation.

I would suggest you get the glass fibers tested; I've seen several cases in the past that were clearly orthotropic, oddly enough... I'm no materials guy, so I'm hesitant to make any type of generalization, but rather, get the results to look at...
