Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Fabric Reinforced Polymer Composites

Abstract

Fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites are widely used in many aerospace structural applications because of their superior specific properties when compared to conventional metallic materials. Because of these properties, they are replacing metals in many engineering applications. In the present study explores the mechanical properties of carbon fabric reinforced polymer composites. The composite laminates were fabricated using hand layup method. The laminated composite is tested by using non-destructive techniques (NDT) to identify the defects. The mechanical properties of composites like Inter Laminar Shear Strength (ILSS), Flexural Strength & Tensile strength.
