Abstract
A method for improving the mechanical properties of VIRALL has been pr oposed on the basis of the tensile behavior of Vinylon strands. The in fluence of artificial pre-stressing during the curing of VIRALL on its tensile properties has been experimentally investigated. It is reveal ed that fiber pre-stressing may lead to a dramatic increase in the ela stic limit, yield strength and failure strength of VIRALL laminates. T hese results can be referred to the strengthening effect of Vinylon fi bers and the modifications and recreations of the ply stress states in VIRALL laminates.
