  Thermal and Electrical Performance of Aluminum-Reinforced GFRP Composites

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, M. Babu, S. Prathap Singh, Jagadeesh Bommisetty, Ramya R., Vaddi Seshagiri Rao, Prithvi A., Mohammed Ziberel S.

  Abstract: This work examines an economical approach to improve the thermal load protection of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites, commonly utilized in aircraft constructions, pressure containers, and electrical insulators. Notwithstanding their superior mechanical capabilities, GFRP composites are susceptible to elevated temperatures and electrical currents, frequently resulting in considerable structural deterioration. The study introduces an innovative method employing aluminum reinforcement to enhance the thermal conductivity and protection of GFRP composite laminates. …

  Development and Assessment of Mechanical Characteristics in Sisal-Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, S. Karuppaswamy, J. M. Babu, Shekar K, Vishnu S. Aher, S. Prathap Singh, R. Rangaraja, Antony Leo F., Deepak K., Aswin S

  Abstract: In many different fields, including tensile strength, reduced thermal expansion, and an amazing strength-to-weight ratio, fiber-reinforced polymer composites are gradually replacing conventional materials. This work mostly addresses the development and evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of epoxy composites improved with glass fibers and sisal. Among the benefits are biodegradability, lower weight, and more specific strength. Sisal polymer composites are included under natural fiber composites. Including sisal strands into glass fiber-reinforced …
