Fibre Reinforced Plastic(Frp)
Fibre-reinforced plastic or fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) are composite materials made up of a polymer matrix strengthened with fibres. The fibers are generally fiberglass, carbon, or aramid, while the polymer is typically an epoxy, vinylester or polyester thermosetting plastic. FRPs are most commonly used for various industrial and commercial applications in the aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries. FRP can be used for strengthening the beams, columns and slabs in buildings. A fibre-reinforced plastic is cost-effective, faster, and easier to manufacture than cast aluminum or steel, and sometimes retains excellent material strengths. The commonly used fibre reinforced plastics could be classified into: Carbon fiber reinforced polymers and Glass fiber reinforced polymers.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymers
Let us take an example from the aviation industry. Manufacturing the rudder of an A310 Airbus using carbon fiber reinforced polymers will offer significant benefits when compared to a a traditional rudder made from sheet aluminum. The major advantages include : 25% reduction in weight and 95% reduction in components by combining simpler molded parts.
This example reveals that the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers for the manufacture of components in an airplane could bring about a tremendous reduction in production and operational costs and enhanced fuel savings.
Glass fiber reinforced polymers
Here let us take an example from the field of automotive engineering, preferably the instance of an engine intake manifold made from glass fiber reinforced PA 66. An intake manifold is a part of an engine that supplies fuel or air mixture to the cylinders. Some of the major advantages of glass fiber reinforced polymers over caste aluminum manifolds are:
- Tremendousreduction in weight
- Improvement in surface quality and aerodynamics
- Enormous reduction in components by combining simpler molded parts.
If automotive gas and clutch pedals aremade from glass fiber reinforced PA 66, it offers numerous advantages over stamped aluminum. This includes:
- Pedals can be molded as single units using a combination of both pedals and mechanical linkages. This simplifies the production and operation of the design.
- Fibers are flexible enough to be strengthened against specific stresses. This increases their durability and safety.

How to fix cracked chain wheel on Schwinn bike??
I bought a Schwinn bike from a thrift store a couple months back and fixed it up. Everything was working fine until I noticed that the chain wheel (I think that's what its called? The circle closest to the pedal and crankarm?) is cracked in a small spot. I used my sweet paint skills to make a picture to show this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/allineedis2rock/crank.jpg
The crack actually isn't even that big, and the wheel still moves in a circle fine. Is there an inexpensive way to fix this? Like use epoxy? The bike still works fine, I'm just nervous I might fly off while biking in the city. Thanks!
No, do not try epoxy. It most certainly will not work. The best route is to replace the chain ring. The second choice would be to find a local welder who is proficient in welding aluminum alloy and get him/her to weld it for you.
If the bike is cheap enough it might be steel, which is much easier to weld than aluminum
But, again, replace the chain ring. This is a dangerous condition.
