For different weight percentages of each material added to the resin, the resin study of Kevlar and Carbon milled fibers was undertaken. The samples were then subjected to a three-point bending test for static testing on the Universal Testing Machine (UTM). A fatigue testing machine is used to conduct the dynamic testing. Additionally, structural stimulation of the material samples is performed using ANSYS software to verify the results. Additionally, the composite sample DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) is carried out. A load versus displacement graph was made for each fiber proportion in order to establish which portion of the filler must tolerate a greater level of force. To examine the flexural characteristics of the samples, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and flexural toughness have been plotted against the weights of the milled fibers supplied. In static testing, flexural strength, flexural, and flexural modulus each experience a rise of 141.6% and 0.45%, respectively, for samples with carbon milled fibers at a weight percentage of 3.5%. Flexural strength increases by 119% for samples containing Kevlar milled fibers at a weight percentage of 0.375%, whereas Flexural modulus decreases by 5%. In case of static testing of E-glass composite samples with different fillers, the Flexural properties increase in a optimal way. Also, in case of DMA, the E-glass composites incorporating milled carbon fibres and milled hybrid fibres have storage moduli that are 26.5% and 22.3% greater, respectively. While the storage modulus fell by 19.2% in E-Glass composite sample with milled Kevlar fibers. Also, the glass transition temperature also increases in an optimal way as expected. The Structural simulation is also made for verifying the results obtained from the experimental procedure.
KEYWORDS
The resin study of the samples with milled carbon and Kevlar fibers are analysed for further fabrication of the composite with the optimum weight percentage of the milled fibers showing desired results. Using milled fibers as fillers shows promising results in terms of flexural properties as well as load carrying capacity of the resin samples. From the graphs, it is found that for 0.375% weight concentration of milled Kevlar fibers, 3.5% weight concentration of milled Carbon fibers and 0.375% % weight concentration of milled Hybrid fibers (ie., 0.094% of milled Carbon fibers and 0.28% of milled Kevlar fibers), the maximum value of ultimate yield stress is obtained.
