The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00004 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.08 SJR: 0.153 SNIP: 0.178 CiteScore™:: 1 H-Index: 12

RÉSUMÉ

In this paper, the optimization of vacuum infusion process (VIP) parameters of the mechanical properties (modulus and tensile strength) of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites has been investigated. The optimization was done using 20 samples that were designed by the response surface methodology (RSM) method using such process parameters as the viscosity of 400, 550, and 700 g/cm·s, glass fabric surface weight of 200, 300, and 400 g/m2, and fabric angle of 0°, 30°, and 60°. The results show that with increase in the resin viscosity, the strength and modulus of the samples increase by 7.9% and 5.1%, respectively. On the other hand, increasing the fabric surface weight reduces the strength by 11.5% and the modulus by 16.1%. Finally, it is shown that the reinforcement angle has the highest impact on the mechanical properties of the composite sample such that on increase in the reinforcement angle from 0° to 45°, the strength and modulus decrease by 77.3% and 47.7%, respectively, and increase again at higher angles.
