Mechanical Characterization of Carbon/Epoxy Unidirectional and Bidirectional Composites for Structural Application

Abstract

ABSTRACT Advanced composites are widely used for structural application due to their high strength to weight ratio and other characteristic properties. PAN Carbon roving/Epoxy (UD) and PAN Carbon fabric/Epoxy (BD) composites are being used in structural application based on their engineering properties. To design composite components using these materials a thorough experimental characterization on mechanical properties is prerequisite. In this work, PAN Carbon roving/Epoxy UD laminates were fabricated by filament winding technique and PAN Carbon fabric/Epoxy BD laminates were fabricated by hand lay-up followed by compression moulding technique. Specimens were prepared as per ASTM standards and tested for their Physical and Mechanical properties. Statistical analysis carried out on standard deviation and coefficient of variance was calculated for mechanical properties. Data generated is falling within the accepted levels and the data obtained from various tests are appropriately reduced to evaluate composite material properties that can be used for design and analysis of structural composite components.
