In this study, the effect of different curing temperatures (60°C,80°C, and 100°C) on mechanical characteristics Jute Glass fiber-based hybrid composites were analyzed mechanically, physically, morphologically. fiber fabric glass fabrics (49 gr/m² 100 gr/m²) used as reinforcement elements, while epoxy was utilized ma-trix materials. A vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method (VARTM) product...

In recent years, various new and practical products have emerged thanks to rapidly developing science technology meet human needs expectations. A variety of these are materials known as composites. The use composites is also increasing, from the aircraft industry automobile industry, other areas such sports equipment, infrastructures. goal this research present a hybrid composite material that ...

NASA has been a leader in development of composite materials for aircraft applications during the past 25 years. In the early 1980’s NASA and others conducted research to improve damage tolerance of composite structures through the use of toughened resins but these resins were not costeffective. The aircraft industry wanted affordable, robust structures that could withstand the rigors of flight...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted a great deal of interest in the development of high-performance engineering composites, due to their exceptional physical, mechanical, electronic and thermal properties. Incorporation of CNTs into polymer has shown great improvements in the functional property, however, the enhancement of the mechanical property was insignificant compared with that of micr...

GLARE (glass-reinforced fibre–metal laminate ) is aluminum based material of fiber metal (henceforth FML) that often fabricated by expensive autoclave procedure. In this study, the process Injected Molding or (also known as VARTM was employed a cost-effective alternative to produce GLARE. Several surface preparation procedures are applied improve interlaminar shear strength. A T3 temper 2024 al...

In this work, the mode I fracture toughness of dissimilar metal-composite adhesive joints is experimentally investigated using double cantilever beam (DCB) test. The particular joint under study resulted by joining a thin titanium sheet with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate and envisioned to be implemented in hybrid laminar flow control system future aircraft. Four different indu...

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...
