Experimental Analysis of Mechanical Behaviour of Carbon Fiber and E-Glass Fiber Stitched with Nylon 66 Reinforced with Polyester Resin

Abstract

In recent decennium immense performing composites are favored over traditional materials like steel and cast iron. It is due to their tremendous mechanical nature. In this case fibers are blended with resin. Due to its enhanced mechanical behavior, composites are mostly used in racing cars, automobile parts, aircraft equipment, household appliances etc (1). In modern years, there is momentous research and market concentration in advanced carbon fibre (CF) and e-glass fibre (GF) composites. The present work aims to develop carbon fibre and E-glass fibre stitched with nylon 66 reinforced with polyester resin. Nylon is added to reduce the cost of pure carbon fibre also to improve the load carrying & load distributing strength (2). Mechanical observations such as tensile, compression, flexural, and impact strength were performed by varying the fibre composition at the ratio of 2: 3: 4 by weight. Investigations were conducted on prepared samples of composite plate. Finally, it is concluded that at 40% of fiber vigor, both carbon fibre reinforced polymer and E-glass fibre reinforced polymer shows the topmost values. However carbon fibre reinforced polymer is having topmost strength higher than E-glass fibre reinforced polymer.
