Glass fibre and thermoplastic are combined to create an intermediary compound that is used to make glass mat thermoplastic. These are further strengthened using glass mat technology and long fibres. The glass mat thermoplastic material offers many benefits including elasticity, impact resistance, resistance to corrosion, durability, and potential as a lighter alternative to metals like aluminium and steel. Due to the increased use of lightweight materials in various industries, including the automotive, electrical and electronics, and aerospace, glass mat thermoplastic is becoming more and more popular. One of the key factors in the rise in demand for strong, lightweight materials is the automotive industry.

Haphazard glass mat Thermoplastic composites are excellent materials for producing inexpensive stiff parts with a high impact strength because they can be thermostamped to create intricate deep-drawn parts with ribs and bosses. However, it is known that these materials' mechanical characteristics, as determined by common tensile tests, show a significant amount of scatter. Additionally, over a 12.7-mm distance, the tensile modulus of these materials can vary by a factor of two. In a previous attempt, it was demonstrated that the local tensile modulus is well approximated by the arithmetic mean of the local left- and right-edge tensile moduli by measuring the local tensile moduli of long, thin, 12.7-mm-wide strips along both thin edges (left and right) of the specimen and across the face.
