Abstract

Glass fibers are known for their high tensile strength, thermal properties, environmental resistance, and more. This research article investigates the mechanical properties of composites made of hexagonal expanded aluminum mesh (HEAM) of 1.03mm (0.04in) strand thickness, 6.5mm (0.25in) long way of opening (LWO), 5mm (0.2in) Short Way of Opening (SWO) and 1708 45/45 biaxial fiberglass with binder epoxy resin (LY556) with Hardener (HY918) with silicon dioxide as an additive. This study determines tensile, flexural, impact strengths. Results show hexagonal mesh efficiently distributes loads, yielding high strength-to-weight ratio, tensile strength, and energy absorption.
