Fabrication and Experimental Investigation on Tensile and Flexural Properties for Different Stacking Sequence of Jute and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The consequence of placing a different layer of jute and carbon fiber in different position inside the composite has been experimentally investigated. Six layers of woven unidirectional jute fiber and four-layer of carbon fiber has been used with five different stacking sequences in this study. Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI) technology has been used for the manufacturing of the composite. After analyzing the results of the tensile and flexural test of the composites, it shows that the stacking sequence has a significant effect on those properties of the composites. Tensile strength of the composites was upgraded when all the layers of carbon fiber were placed in the middle of the sandwich-like composite structure whereas flexural strength of the composites was improved when carbon fibers were placed on the compression and tension side of the composite.
