Influence of Hybrid Fiber Reinforcement on the Interfacial Bonding and Fracture Toughness of Epoxy-Based Polymer Composites Under Cyclic LoadingBy Jagannath Pattar, Santhosh S., L. Ganesh Babu, R. Rathinam, Pramod Ram Wadate, Jyothishya Brahma Chari Kanneganti, Ram Subbiah, Mohit Tiwari
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of hybrid fiber reinforcement on the interfacial bonding and fracture toughness of epoxy-based polymer composites under cyclic loading. Carbon, glass, and aramid fibers, both individually and in hybrid combinations, were incorporated into the epoxy matrix to evaluate their thermal, mechanical, and fatigue-resistant properties. Thermal characterization revealed distinct material behaviors, with carbon fibers exhibiting superior thermal conductivity, while glass and aramid fibers provided enhanced thermal stability. …

Tribological Performance and Wear Coefficient Prediction of AA2024–TiC Composites via Python-Based Machine LearningBy Sumit Srivastava, Shanmugha Pillai Balaji, Mayur Dilip Jakhete, S. Vinoth Kumar, L. Ganesh Babu, Sandeep Chinta, Goutam Kumar Mahato, Ram Subbiah
Abstract: Determining wear coefficient accurately serves as a critical factor to maximize engineering materials' tribological characteristics. The experiment examines the wear characteristics of TiC-reinforced AA2024 aluminum alloy subjected to different tribological operating conditions. A pin-on-disc tribometer performed wear tests under different conditions of load and TiC weight fraction and sliding speed and duration. ANOVA statistical results show that load intensity and TiC reinforcement density stand out as principal variables that affect …
