## Abstract Flexural strength, impact energy and fatigue resistance are reported for a wide range of filled unsaturated polyester resin composites. Behaviour of these properties is compared with fracture energies reported earlier. Little correlation with the latter is found and reasons for this are

Abstract
Fracture properties of a wide range of filled unsaturated polyester resin composites have been investigated with respect to filler size, shape, loading and adhesion to the matrix resin. Mechanisms are proposed for the fracture behaviors found, based on geometrical considerations of interacting filler particles and stress concentrations which result from them.
