  Effect of Silicon Carbide Filler on Mechanical and Damping Behavior of Basalt/Stainless Steel Hybrid Laminated Composites

  By G Ashwin Prabhu, R Selvam, K M Kumar

  Abstract: This study consolidates three experimental investigations on hybrid laminated composites reinforced with basalt fibre, stainless steel (SS) wire mesh, and silicon carbide (SiC) filler using vacuum infusion moulding. Three laminates were fabricated with filler variations of 0%, 1.5%, and 3% by weight of matrix material, maintaining a stacking sequence of [0B/0W/45B/0W/0B/45W]s with a thickness of 4–5 mm. The first investigation focused on impact strength. Drop-weight impact testing revealed a steady …
