Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Wood Dust Reinforced Epoxy Composite Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract:

In this paper, the sundi wood dust reinforced epoxy composite is developed with three different filler content. The tensile and flexural tests are performed at three different speeds to study the mechanical behavior of the composites. Experiments are conducted based on central composite design considering two factors viz. speed and filler content. The experimental data are statistically analyzed by using analysis of variance to find out the significant parameters. Response surface design has been employed to determine optimum design parameters. It has been observed from the analysis that speed is the main significant factor affecting the load and tensile stress values but for flexural stress, filler content is the main significant factor at 95% confidence level.
