AB  - This paper presents the comparative results of a current study on unsaturated 
      polyester resin (UPR) matrix composites processed by filament winding method, 
      with cotton spun yarn of different mass irregularities and two different volume 
      fractions. Physical and mechanical properties were measured, namely ultimate 
      stress, stiffness, elongation%. The mechanical properties of the composites 
      increased significantly with the increase in the fiber volume fraction in 
      agreement with the Counto model. Mass irregularities in the yarn structure were 
      quantitatively measured and visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 
      Mass irregularities cause marked decrease in relative strength about 25% and 33% 
      which increases with fiber volume fraction. Ultimate stress and stiffness 
      increases with fiber volume fraction and is always higher for yarn with less mass 
      irregularities.
