Tensile and Flexural Strength Quantification of Basalt-Reinforced Epoxy Composites Fabricated via Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding at Varied Fiber Volume Fractions DescriptionBy Kiran Kumar M, K.Chandra Sekhar, Jasira Banu.A, Prasadaraju Kantheti, P. M. Karandikar, R. Shivashankar
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been identified to possess excellent properties that render them very suitable in the aerospace, automotive, marine and renewable energy sectors. However, for the industrially scalable vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process, optimization of mechanical properties of basalt epoxy composites must be achieved systematically, which means that the effect of the fiber volume fraction (VF) on the mechanical properties of the composite needs to be quantified for …
