Preparation And Characterization Of The Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composites

Abstract

The objective of this research was to gain a better understanding of Mechanical properties of epoxy resin composites reinforced with carbon fiber. The effect of fiber orientation of laminates has been investigated & experimentation was performed to determine property data for material specifications, the laminates were obtained by hand layup process .The laminates were cut to obtain ASTM standards. This investigation deals with the testing of tensile and flexural strength on a universal testing machine. The graphs that are obtained from the tests are documented. This research indicates that the mechanical properties are mainly dependent on the fiber orientation of laminated polymer composites.
