چکیده
In this study, compressive strength and contraction of Polymer Composite Laminates made of E-Glass / Carbon bi-woven fabric reinforced in Epoxy resin matrix has been evaluated experimentally. Composite laminates were fabricated using hand lay-up technique for different ply orientations of 0,30,45,60 and stacking sequence of (00/300/450/600)2S for 2 and 3 mm laminate thickness. The laminates were subjected to vacuum bag moulding (Wet Layup), followed by post curing process at elevated temperatures. The specimen preparation and compression testing were carried out as per ASTM standards using Instron Universal Testing Machine. The Experimental results were validated with FEM analysis by LS-DYNA using LS-PREPOST as the prime post processor and the results of both experimental and FEM show admirable agreement with one another. Keywords-Carbon fiber, E-Glass fiber, Epoxy, Vacuum Bag Moulding, LS-DYNA.

Flexural Behavior of Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced with Surface-Functionalized Nanoclay
The effects of surface-functionalized Na+-montmorillonite nanoclay particles on the flexural behavior of E-glass fiber-reinforced aluminum (GLARE) laminates were investigated. The nanoclay particles were subjected to surface functionalization using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine to increase their compatibility with the epoxy matrix and improve their dispersion within the matrix. Expe...

In the present study, modelling and vibration analysis of Carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are investigated. The governing equations of the Carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are derived based on first order shear deformation plate theory, rather than other plate theories, due to accuracy and simplicity of polynomial functions. The modified couple stres...
متن کاملAnalysis of Milling Process Parameters and their Influence on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (RESEARCH NOTE)
Milling of fiber reinforced polymer composites is of great importance for integrated composites with other mating parts. Improper selection of cutting process parameters, excessive cutting forces and other machining conditions would result in rejection of components. Therefore, machining conditions are optimized to reduce the machining forces and damages. This work reports practical experiments...

متن کاملAn Investigation into the Deep Drawing of Fiber-Metal Laminates based on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene
Abstract Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...
