## Abstract Bonding and bolting strengths of a sheet molding compound (SMCβR30) are investigated. Epoxy adhesives are found to give good bonding strength. Surface pretreatment does not affect bond strength. Artificial weathering has practically no effect upon bond strength. Bolting strength depends

Abstract
The Tensile strength of sheet molding compounds containing circular coutouts is investigated. The results show that sheet molding compounds contain inherent voids making the material unaffected by notches smaller than a certain size, The results show a reasonable fit with a three parameter model.
