Abstract
In this study, glass fiber-reinforced composite materials were produced by hand lay-up with different number of layers of glass fiber, and tensile, flexural and impact fatigue strength of composite materials were investigated. The samples were also metallographically characterized. Depending on the number of fiber layers of samples mechanical properties and impact fatigue strength were examined. Due to the increase in the number of fiber layers, the mechanical properties of the samples were found to be improved.
Kurzfassung
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden handgeschichtete, glasfaserverstärkte Komposit-Materialien hergestellt und deren Zugfestigkeit, deren Biegesteifigkeit und deren Durchschlagfestigkeit analysiert. Die Materialien wurden metallographisch charakterisiert. Abhängig von der Anzahl von Faserschichten in den Proben, wurden die mechanischen Eigenschaften und deren Schlagfestigkeit untersucht. Durch die Anzahl von steigenden Faserschichten konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich die mechanischen Eigenschaften verbessern.
