Abstract:- Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymeric (GFRP) Composite materials have demonstrated key advantages in many fields from Aerospace to Sporting Goods. An efficient design of FRP Composites requires detailed understanding of material and the way of testing. This paper discusses the concepts of Overview, Characterization, Fabrication, Fatigue Testing using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Technique, Microscopic study using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and composite repair of continuous GFRP well known as Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) Composites at different fiber orientations (00,+450,-450,900) etc. which tends to complete definition of a Research Problem. This paper provides a scope to young researchers to know the usage of DIC technique in their work so that efficient design can be done which fulfills all the criteria’s.
