Fibre Reinforced Hybrid Composite Wear Behaviour Analysis

A composite is a struc tural material that consists of two or more combined constituents that are either combined at a macroscopic level or microscopic level and are not soluble in each other. One constituent is called the reinforcing phase and the one in which it is embedded is called the matrix. The reinforcing phase material may be in the form of fibers, particles or flakes. The matrix phase materials are generally continuous. A composite material can provide superior and unique mechanical and physical properties because it combines the most desirable properties of its constituents while suppressing their least desirable properties. Now-a-days composite materials plays a key role in aerospace industry, automobile industry and other engineering applications as they exhibit outstanding strength to weight and modulus to weight ratio. The present work focuses on determination of wear behaviour of polyester and random oriented glass/jute fiber (mat) reinforced composite at 10% wt and 20% wt fractions. The test specimens will be prepared using hand moulding technique and will be tested. The analysis will have carried out by using ANOVA) to analysis the wear properties of polyester and glass/jute fiber reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. The experimental results will be compared for different specimens.
