  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, M. Babu, S. Prathap Singh, Jagadeesh Bommisetty, Ramya R., Vaddi Seshagiri Rao, Prithvi A., Mohammed Ziberel S.

  Abstract: This work examines an economical approach to improve the thermal load protection of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites, commonly utilized in aircraft constructions, pressure containers, and electrical insulators. Notwithstanding their superior mechanical capabilities, GFRP composites are susceptible to elevated temperatures and electrical currents, frequently resulting in considerable structural deterioration. The study introduces an innovative method employing aluminum reinforcement to enhance the thermal conductivity and protection of GFRP composite laminates. …
