Flexural Strength Analysis of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composite Layup Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the focus was on the optimum design of laminate stacking sequences (LSS) of basalt fiber reinforced composite (BFRP) structure. Eleven rectangular composite panels with different stacking sequences and fiber orientations were analyzed. A three-point flexural test according to ASTM D790 was carried out in ANSYS to simulate the basalt fiber reinforced composite layup flexural strength. From the results, it was found that the composite structure layup of [0/0/45/0/0]s has the highest strength among all samples.
