The Study of the Mechanical Properties of Aramid Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composite

Abstract

This paper studies the mechanical properties of the aramid fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite by varying the percentage composition. Three different compositions of aramid fiber are 30 %, 35 % and 45 % by weight. The aramid epoxy composite was manufactured by the vacuum suction method. The manufactured composites are then cured by the hot air oven for 180 minutes. The prepared composites undergo through various tests such as the tensile test, hardness test and impact test. The results of the tests on the three compositions analyzed and variation in its mechanical properties is noted.
