Mechanical characterization and comparison of glass fiber and fiber reinforced with aluminum and graphite powder

Abstract

Composite material plays a vital role in the field of mechanical properties and strengthening materials. These materials possess an excellent weight to strength ratio and have outstanding mechanical properties with which the replacement of metal materials can be compromised with adaptive composite materials. In this research, glass fibers are fabricated into composite material with aluminum and graphite powder support. The development of poly-fibers has brought about the essential need materially to improve the performance of properties of reinforced fibered material. The epoxy mixed composite plates are fabricated with matrix and additives which the mechanical properties are tested. The fiber-reinforced polymer composite material is cut using ASTM standard and tested using devices, and this paper discusses mechanical properties. Composite materials are the materials that posse’s good mechanical properties by adding different materials into a single composite material. According to the ASTM standards, the specimens were prepared with the glass fiber epoxy laminates with Aluminum powder and graphite powder.
