“An Experimental Research on Aramid Fiber added to Carbon Reinforced Fiber Laminate Plate”

Abstract

Metal materials like Aluminum, Steel, and Magnesium etc have been progressively substitute by High – performance composites with Carbon fiber and Hybrid fiber composite. In recent days, Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) erstwhile extensively used in various fields such as aerospace, marine, transportation, and defense, because of their high strength to weight ratio and stiffness, good resistance to fatigue and corrosion, desirable thermal characteristics. In this work two composites laminates are fabricated one is Carbon – Carbon fiber reinforce composite and second is Carbon – Aramid Hybrid reinforce composite. Two laminates were prepared by varying fiber orientation such as 00, 450,900 and 300, 600,900. Hand lay – up technique has been adopted to prepare the specimens as per the ASTM standards are D3039, D3410and D790. In this project, we are going to find mechanical properties like Tensile test, Compression test and Bending test on Carbon - Carbon reinforce composite and Carbon - Aramid hybrid composite.
