Abstract
A supporting pole for supporting objects at an elevated position, such as a supporting pole for supporting cables, wires and/or electrical components. The supporting pole is formed of one or more fiber reinforced plastic resin laminates, wherein the one or more laminates comprise: a first ply, the first ply comprising unidirectional fibers, the unidirectional fibers having a first Young's modulus, and a second ply, the second ply comprising chopped fibers, the chopped fibers having a second Young's modulus; wherein the first Young's modulus is greater than the second Young's modulus, and wherein the unidirectional fibers in the laminate are at least 70 wt % of the fibers in the laminate.
Claims19
A supporting pole for supporting an object at an elevated position, the supporting pole being formed of one or more fiber reinforced plastic resin laminates, wherein the one or more laminates comprise:
- a first ply, comprising unidirectional fibers, the unidirectional fibers having a first Young's modulus, and
- a second ply, comprising chopped fibers, the chopped fibers having a second Young's modulus;
- wherein the first Young's modulus is greater than the second Young's modulus, and wherein the unidirectional fibers in the laminate are at least 70 wt % of the fibers in the laminate.
A fiber reinforced plastic resin laminate comprising:
- a first ply, comprising unidirectional fibers, the unidirectional fibers having a first Young's modulus, and
- a second ply, comprising chopped fibers, the chopped fibers having a second Young's modulus;
- wherein the first Young's modulus is greater than the second Young's modulus, and
- wherein the unidirectional fibers in the laminate are at least 70 wt % of the fibers in the laminate.
A method of making a supporting pole formed of one or more fiber reinforced plastic resin laminates, wherein the one or more laminates comprise a first ply comprising unidirectional fibers, the unidirectional fibers having a first Young's modulus, and a second ply comprising chopped fibers, the chopped fibers having a second Young's modulus, wherein the first Young's modulus is greater than the second Young's modulus, and wherein the unidirectional fibers in the laminate are at least 70 wt % of the fibers in the laminate, the method comprising centrifugal casting the one or more laminates to form the supporting pole.
