Experimental Investigation and Failure Analysis of Glass Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Composite

Sudhir Shekhar Mathapati, Dr. Suresh B

Abstract: Now a days composites are important class of materials which are available to mankind. So studies of these composites are played a very important role in engineering, material science, metallurgy and solid mechanics applications. The fiber reinforced polymer composites are more widely used in the automotive industry, aeronautical industry and finds many other industrial applications due to their benefits like low cost, noise control, low weight and ease of processing. The objective of this research is to prepare E-glass fiber based composite with percentage variation of glass fiber content like 1 %, and 2 % with using a bisphenol A as matrix material and conducting flexural test on the composite.
