THERMAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SEQUENCE WORN METAL MESH COMPOSITES INTERTWINED WITH BASILITE FIBER EPOXY POLYMERIC COMPOSITES
Illandula Venu, K.Mounika
Abstract
Designing a fiber reinforced polymer composite requires careful consideration of the various Fibers used how they are stacked, the fiber ratio, and position of different fiber layers, as these factors influence the structural characteristics. The research is mainly focused on the development of a new class of metal fiber polymer laminate-MFPL (woven stainless-steel mesh/basalt/jute) and its performance studies. Woven stainless-steel mesh reinforcement acts as a high-impact load absorber and as a high-ductile. The new class MFP laminate design was created by utilizing a Vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding technique (VARTM). The study looked at the mechanical characteristics of the produced MFPL, including tensile and flexural strength. The stacking layering arrangement with alternating basalt and jute layers demonstrated greater flexural and tensile strengths, by basalt layers on the outer locations. The thick basalt fiber may hold tension, especially in the outer layer, decreasing stress transmission to the remaining core layers. The wire mesh composed of basalt and jute fiber, with alternating layers and basalt layers on the outside, demonstrated a to some extent lower thermal degradation (364 °C) compared to the composite with basalt covered layering arrangement (462 °C). The outer basalt layers' strong thermal resistance limits heat passage to the following fiber layers.
