Abstract: Tensile properties of glass fiber yarns, ply thickness and 0° tensile properties of the laminated plates for the four kinds of high modulus UD glass fabric are studied. They have close tensile modulus for the glass fiber yarns, and close tensile modulus for the UD composites, when the fiber volume contents are controlled to be similar. However, by vacuum assisted infuse process, the UD composites have different ply thickness, and therefore different fiber volume contents, finally different tensile modulus. When applied in the I-beam with same layer, the stiffness for ply thickness of 0.78 mm increases by about 6% compared with the stiffness for ply thickness of 0.83 mm.

Key words: high modulus UD glass, wind turbine blade, spar caps, fiber volume content
