Abstract

Sandwich structured composite is a particular classification in composite materials. This type of structure has been mainly used in recent studies because of its high specific strength, low density, and stiffness. It is increasingly more commonly employed in structural designs due to its features and performance. The sandwich composites used in this investigation are made of aluminium alloys and areca fibre. The sandwich composite’s face sheet comes in a variety of thicknesses. The adhesive skin layer is also varied to investigate the effect of using natural fibre. The sandwich composite is subjected to 3 point bend test. The modal analysis is investigated using the finite element method. The 3D model of sandwich composites is modelled using solid works 2020. Using Altair Hyper Works, the boundary conditions and meshing is carried out. ANSYS Mechanical APDL is used to analyse the sandwich composites. This investigation analyses the behaviour of composite sandwich beams.
