Glass reinforced plastic, so called GRP, is a composite material made of glass strands called fibbers woven together to create a flexible fabric. GRP is a lightweight material with many and diverse applications ranging from the manufacture of reservoirs for different liquids to the manufacture of boats, yachts, chairs and even children playground furniture. The behaviour of this material under static and dynamic loads is still raising interest from the scientific community and a large number of researchers. This continued interest is due to the material versatility for different applications depending on its manufacture process that has a significant weigh-in in the material mechanical properties. These resulting mechanical properties need to be carefully analysed and benchmarked prior to using the obtained material in commercial applications. The scope of this research study is to analyse the behaviour of glass reinforced plastic plate panel with reinforcements on one and two directions under static and dynamic loads employing both experimental and numerical methods for results validation. The methods used in this research study for the dynamic loads can also be applied successfully to other composite materials. Additionally, the stress plots have been analysed in iteration in order to ensure the most optimal reinforcement pattern.
