Abstract
In the present work, the tension response of polypropylene (PP) based composites reinforced with Carbon/Kevlar fabrics was investigated. The weft, wrap, and binder are considered in the direction (XYZ) and woven into a 3D fabric. Two homogeneous fabrics with Carbon (CCC), Kevlar (KKK), hybrid Carbon/Kevlar (CCK), and hybrid Kevlar/Carbon (KKC) fabrics were produced using a hand-made spoke frame. The architecture of the fabrics was three-dimensional orthogonal (3D-O). Four different composite laminates were manufactured using a vacuum bag-assisted moulding technique. The tensile loading was applied using a Nano-UTM set-up at travel of +6.25/-3.1 mm and software-automated generation of stress-strain data. The results indicated that the tensile properties of thermoplastic 3D-O composites are sensitive. In all the composites, the peak stress, strength, and modulus were increased when noticed with the 2D fabric. The experimental results show that the tensile strength of CCK and CCC with carbon fibres used in their weft and warp direction was greater than that of KKC and KKK with Kevlar fibres used in fibres weft and warp direction. The hybridization and 3D orthogonal weaving method also increased the tensile strength. The observation were characterized through scanning electron microscope.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Integrated Engineering (IJIE) is a single blind peer reviewed journal which publishes 3 times a year since 2009. The journal is dedicated to various issues focusing on 3 different fields which are:- Civil and Environmental Engineering. Original contributions for civil and environmental engineering related practices will be publishing under this category and as the nucleus of the journal contents. The journal publishes a wide range of research and application papers which describe laboratory and numerical investigations or report on full scale projects. Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It stands as a international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the electrical and electronic engineering. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in this field, whether in the form of research, development, application or design. Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. It is a platform for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to the understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering. Original contributions giving insight into engineering practices related to mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering form the core of the journal contents.
