Abstract
The paper presents some failure modes occured in tensile tests of Polylite 440-M888 polyester resin specimens reinforced with RT300 roving fabric, specimens that have been cut in warp direction of the reinforcement. Tensile tests results are also presented. The first failures of the specimens took place in the form of inter-fibers brake at a strain of about 0,03.
