Modeling & Testing Of Hybrid Composite Laminate

Composite materials consists of more than one material or component where each component retains its basic properties and at the same time produces a material with a new set of properties that are different from each of component. This increase in use of composite materials in various applications has generated considerable interest for the development of reliable techniques and methods to predict the structural response under various loading conditions. With this advantage we can develop a material useful for the required application. Aim of this project is to study the behavior of a hybrid composite laminate with the change in orientation of fiber from layer to layer, i.e., preparation of hybrid FRP composite laminate sample (ASTM specimen) using glass wool and epoxy as binder and test the prepared sample for its mechanical properties as per ASTM Standards. Modeling and Analysis by using ansys . Validation of Analytical experimental results. I. Introduction The role of engineering materials in the development of modern technology need not be emphasized. It is materials through which a designer puts forward his ideas into practice. We use a wide variety of materials for our needs and comfort and have been developing new materials for meeting our technological requirement. As the levels of technology have become more and more sophisticated, the materials used also have to be correspondingly made more efficient and effective. Several performance characteristics are expected from these materials.
