Analysis of Bending Behavior of Laminated Composite Beam

Abstract:

This paper discusses about the impact of fiber volume fraction on the bending behavior of a laminated composite beam. A two layered composite beam with upper layer made of glass fiber epoxy resin and reinforced with Kevlar at the bottom side of the beam is modeled and structural analysis is carried out. The analysis shows that the tensile strength increases with increase in fiber volume fraction. The compression strength decreases with increase in fiber volume fraction in the upper fiber where as increases in the bottom fiber and the obtained results are correlating with the experimental and analytical studies.
