Abstract
Nowadays, there is a demand for structural elements especially in the aerospace industry having lightweight, high strength, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, fatigue resistant, etc. To fulfill these demands, researchers have made a lot of efforts to incorporate these all properties. In the series of development of various types of composite, Glass Laminate Aluminum-Reinforced Epoxy (GLARE) has been fabricated and employed in space vehicles. The chapter deals about how the random orientation of fibers will affect the tensile and fatigue characteristics of fiber laminated composites. The literature till now does not reveal the fatigue properties of GLARE containing randomly oriented glass fiber epoxy lamina.
