Abstract

Industrial needs for materials that have the same properties as metals and are resistant to corrosion require the development of various types of materials, one of which is fiberglass composite. The use of fiberglass material has been widely used in the automotive, shipping, and other industries. This research aims to analyze the strength of materials on fiber ships to identify the characteristics of FRP composite materials used on fiber ships. The method used in this research is to conduct material strength testing on FRP composite samples using tensile testing techniques to predict material strength on fiber ships. The results of the study are the highest tensile strength value, namely the volume fraction of 40%, namely 198.99 Mpa and the smallest tensile strength value at a volume fraction of 20% and the effect of tensile volume on tensile strength, where the greater the percentage of the volume fraction value, the greater the tensile strength value of the composite range from 20% to 40%. The conclusion in this study is that there is an effect of tensile volume on tensile strength, where the higher the percentage of volume fraction value, the higher the tensile strength value of the composite and in the test specimen almost debonding or fiber pull out, which occurs due to the selection of the manufacturing method, namely hand lay-up which is likely to occur voids in composite specimens.
