Structural Characterization and Mechanical Behaviour of Carbon Fiber/epoxy Composite for Aeronautical Field
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present study EP142-C510-50 woven carbon fiber composite was investigated from structural/ mechanical point of view aiming manufacturing parts for aeronautical industry. The composites were obtained by hand lay-up process. Prior to mechanical tests, the cure reaction results of composite resins specimens were analyzed by using DSC technique. The EP142 epoxy matrix was cured/polymerized at 160°C. After molding, the laminates were cut into specimens for 3 points flexure, tensile and fatigue tests. The mechanical tested samples observed by scanning electron microscopy revealed their fractured and microstructure aspects. A nondestructive US method allowing elastic constant determination on a composite plate was proposed during this study.

متن کاملMECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED SHORT BANANA FIBER REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES
Short banana fiber reinforced composites have been prepared in laboratory to determine mechanical properties. It has been observed that as soon as the percentage of the banana fiber increases slightly there is a tremendous increase in ultimate tensile strength, % of strain and young modulus of elasticity. Reinforcement of banana fibers in epoxy resin increases stiffness and decreases damping pr...

In the current study the effect of nanoclay content and carbon fiber orientation on the buckling properties of epoxy/nanoclay/ carbon fiber orientation is investigated. Buckling samples were prepared with 1, 3 and 5 wt% of nanoclay and 0, 30 and 45 degrees of fiber orientations based on VARTM technique. The results obtained from the buckling tests showed that adding 1wt% of nanoclay into the pu...
