In this paper, performing experiment on abrasive belt grinding of glass reinforced plastic, the reasons why belt is slipping is analyzed under such circumstances when glass reinforced plastic is grinded by wet abrasive belt, a basis for the fiber reinforced plastic properties of an effective method of grinding is proposed, a solution that belt is slipping in the process is proposed too. At last, a basis is given to choose the correct hardness which on depend different parts of the hardness of the round of contacts.

Abstract Glass fiber reinforced plastic composites are widely used as structural materials. These two phase materials can be tailored to suit a large variety of applications. A better understanding of the properties of the fiber-matrix ‘interphase’ can enable more optimum design of composites. The interphase is a microscopic region around the fiber and hence nano-scale investigation using nano-indentation techniques is appropriate to determine mechanical property variations. In this study the atomic force microscope with the Hysitron indenter has been used to determine the variation of the elastic modulus across the interphase for different silane coated glass fiber reinforced polyester composites. A comparative study of the elastic modulus variation in the interphase is reported. The results are discussed in the light of the current limitations of the instrumentation and analysis.
