Abstract
A Fibre reinforced composites (FRCs) is a composite material made by plastic matrix and reinforced with thin fibres having high tensile strength and high flexural modulus. It is also known as fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass reinforced plastic (GRP). The typical applications of FRCs include marine, aircraft, automotive industries, medical applications, building constructions, sports equipment and many industrial products. In this study specifically E-Glass epoxy resin composite beam is selected because of its high strength, high rigidity, less failure possibility, low cost and easy availability. This study aims to describe the presence of crack in fibre glass composite beam. The crack analysis is to be performed in order to analyze the crack before the failure, which influences characteristics like modes of vibration and natural frequencies. A numerical study is conducted to investigate the free vibration response using finite element method. To understand the phenomenon of crack generation and its approximate location, FFT analysis is to be done along with its validation on FEA.
