Compressive response on Kevlar hybrid composite pipe under sea water environment

Abstract

Composite materials are unendingly growing greater centrality in the field of engineering. In this paper, we have focused mainly on hybrid fiber reinforced polymer composite materials as a pipe. This work concentrates on the hybrid (Aramid and Glass) fiber as a reinforcement of the epoxy matrix. The advantage of hybridization is to increase the strength of compression. The aim of paper is to study the effect of compression of hybrid fiber pipe after seawater immersion for 30, 60 and 90 days. We describe a method for making a lightweight, energy absorbing, glass fiber reinforced aramid fiber, Aramid fiber reinforced glass fiber composite pipe and explore through effect of compressive response was analyzed. The experimental compression value was validated in the FEA analysis.
