Cam Elyaf Takviyeli Polyester Matrisli Kompozit Malzemelerde (CTP) Elyaf Tabaka Sayısına Bağlı Mekanik Özelliklerin ve Darbe Dayanımının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Rapid development of automotive, aviation, aerospace and defense industries are necessitated the use of lightweight and high strength materials. For this purpose, glass fiber reinforced plastic composite materials are began to be produced and widely used. These materials are in proportion to weight have higher strength and rigidity so that has found wide usage. In this study, glass fibre reinforced plastic composite materials were produced with hand lay-up as different number of layers of glass fibre. Mechanical properties of produced composite materials were investigated. Avarage strength values of produced composite materials are obtained with three point bending and tensile tests. In addition to these tests, impact strength of materials were investigated by low speed impact test. Macro and micro photographs of samples were taken before and after the tests. Samples were characterized by metallographic respect. The damage zones of resin and glass fibre materials were examined in detail in the test images. The variation of mechanical properties depending on the number of fibre layers were identified considering the experimental results. Mechanical properties of GFRP materials were investigated; mechanical properties of fibre composite materials had a good outcome, depending on the number of layers. When impact test results are examined, between the number of fibre layers and the values of the energy absorbed by GFRP were observed approximately linearity.
