Abstract
This paper deals with the fabrication of test specimens of Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), Glass-Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (G-CFRP) and Carbon glass fiber reinforced plastic (C-GFRP) by using hand layup method. The low velocity point load setup was fabricated and fixed in the milling machine by using cam pointer arrangement. The specimens have been subjected to the low velocity point load for specific duration by exposure time such as 0,15,30,45 and 60 minutes. Then impact and DMA tests are also carried out for the above specimens. From the DMA test results it was found that the storage modulus and loss factor of GFRP specimen are high compared with others. Izod impact test result shows that impact strength of G-CFRP specimen is high. The flexural results reveals that among the four types of laminates CFRP gives higher order of flexural strength and modulus compared to the others
