Abstract:

Composites materials are used in almost all aspects of the industrial and commercial fields in aircraft, ships, common vehicles, etc. Their most attractive properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio. Polymer composites are used because overall properties of the composites are superior to those of the individual polymers. Glass Fiber composites are considered to have potential use as a reinforcing material in epoxy polymer based composites because of their good strength, stiffness etc., The aim of the present work is to investigate the mechanical properties of Glass Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Based Composites. Here, Glass fiber is the fiber reinforcement and epoxy polymer resin as a matrix material. Composites were prepared with longitudinal (Unidirectional) cross (Bidirectional) and chopped glass fiber reinforced with epoxy based polymer. Mechanical test i.e. tensile test was performed on UTM and flexural test was done on flexural testing machine and the results are reported in the conclusion.
