Dynamic Response Analysis and Mechanical Properties of Composite Plate Having Different Orientation

ABSTRACT Now, fiber reinforced composite materials are gradually becoming more popular for several applications, either as components of complete technical systems, as complete structures or as structural elements. Their resistance to weight ratio is the main advantage of composite over metal components. The purpose of this study is to determine dynamic analysis and mechanical properties of the composite plate having different orientations (0 degree and 45 degree). In this experimental study, Epoxy/ E-Glass composite plate was first manufactured by pouring process. By using simple formulaeshear modulus, poison’s ratio, andlongitudinal transverse Young Modulus were determined. The experiment was carried out on a FFT analyzer, which was built specifically to investigate dynamic characteristics of composite plate. The transverse &longitudinal vibrations were obtained experimentally. Inspection of the dynamic behavior of the composite beam for various end conditions is made by both experimental and theoretical analysis.The experiment was carried on Compression Testing Machine with different orientations and volume fraction.
