	<span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In this paper, investigation on the initial fracture behavior was carried out on roving glass woven fabric reinforced composites which were </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">manufactured by hand lay-up method. Two kinds of roving glass woven fabrics of different FAW</span> <span \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(Fabric Area Weight) and crimp ratio, Type A of 570 g/m</span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and Type B of 800 g/m</span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, were adopted as reinforcement in this study.

The results showed that Type B has higher tensile modulus and tensile strength than that of Type A. And different initial fracture behaviors between two kinds of materials was observed and analyzed, which indicated that the crimp ratio plays an important role of woven fabric reinforced composites in fracture mechanism</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.</span>
