Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of E-glass Fiber and Epoxy Resin Hybrid Composite Material

Bangarappa L

Abstract


Hybrid composites occupying the area of standard materials by satisfying the necessities of various sectors like part industries, automobile industries, ship building and numerous bio-medical sectors. the most reason to substitute standard materials is that the hybrid composites giving same or additional needed properties with less weight and value than standard materials and most output in minimal consumption with higher lifespan to seek out the economical suggests that of utilizing the technology for various applications. Mats were fancied and stratified up with rosin matrix. The laminate is factory-made exploitation hand lay-up technique followed by compression moulding. Critical properties of the fancied material like flexure, enduringness, square measure through an experiment all over and results square measure recorded. The aim of the current analysis work was experimental investigation to judge numerous mechanical properties of hybrid fiber compound composite (E-glass fiber and epoxy, Banana fibres) at totally different weight percentages with epoxy. The properties of E-glass fiber and epoxy, Banana, fibres were found to be sensible large to be used as reinforcement in composite materials. The results of the experiments were per shaped on one hundred kN servo hydraulic universal testing machine (UTM) (50% E-glass, 100% of banana fiber and therefore the four-hundredth of epoxy resin) will study associate optimum results of the composite. In water absorption take a look at C-1 (20% E-glass, four-hundredth of banana fiber and therefore the four-hundredth of epoxy resin) will observe the absorption of water. and at last experimental study the water absorption depends on amount of banana fiber
