EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF IMPACT AND HARDNESS PROPERTIES OF HYBRID LAMINATED PLATES

Composite materials are generally utilized in automobile and aerospace industries suitable to their high stiffeners. The execution of weight decrease with sufficient augmentation of mechanical properties has made composites a decent changeover material for other traditional materials. Glass fiber strengthened composite materials have privileged quality and determination proportion's not normal for metal materials, in light of the reality that the quality can be finer by fiber arranging in a mixture of ways. Its application can be found in structures of aero planes, autos and can be utilized for channels. In present work hybrid composite laminated plate is prepared by mixing Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Graphene powder in glass fiber reinforced composite plates. The hand lay-up process has been adopted for preparing the composite plates. The antisymmetric cross ply (00 /900 /00 /900 ) composite laminated plates are considered for analysis. The hardness and Impact test on hybrid composite laminated plate is to be carried out on Brinell's Hardness test and Charpy V - Notch Test
