Description

The glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) fabricated by the vacuum bag process was selected as the high voltage electrical insulation and mechanical support for the superconducting joints and the current leads of ITER Feeder system. To evaluate the cryogenic mechanical properties of the GFRP, the mechanical properties of the GFRP such as the inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS), the tensile strength and the fatigue fracture strength after 30,000 cycles, were measured at 77K in this study. The results demonstrated that the GFRP met the design requirements of ITER.
