Abstract: The paper presents the impact of the type and mode of stacking glass fibers on the mechanical properties of structural composite materials. The aim of this paper is to describe the dependence of the mechanical properties of composite materials from the standpoint of the use of glass reinforcement and the orientation of the fibers in the composite. Short and long glass fibers were used, as well as three types of stacking glass reinforcement. Detailed mechanical testing should point out that, with the appropriate type and orientation of the glass fibers, composite products for different loads can be successfully selected.

Keywords: composite materials, short fibers, long fibers, stacking glass fibers, mechanical properties.
