Mechanical Behavioral Analysis of Sugarcane Bagasse, Coconut Fiber and Kevlar Fiber Reinforced Composite with Micrographs
Abstract: Asbestos and alloys are materials that are frequently used as brake pads; however, because these materials pose risks to human health and the environment, including lung cancer, it is necessary to replace the materials used in brake pads. In place of the current brake pads, composite fibers such as kevlar, sugarcane bagasse, and coconut are studied in this study. The procedure of manually laying up composite molding is used to …

Enhancing Mechanical Performance in Reinforced Hybrid Composites using Silicon Carbide and Aluminium Oxide Fillers
Abstract: Hybrid composites are becoming useful because they have better qualities than regular composites. This study examines the conventional properties of composites that utilise SiC and Al2O3 as filler components. Kevlar, S-glass, and sisal fibers at 90° and 0°, followed by additional layers of S-glass and Kevlar. To make sure that the material qualities were the same throughout, the resin and fibre layers were arranged in an alternating pattern. Mechanical testing …

Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Corrugated Foam Sandwich Panel
Abstract: Composite sandwich structures, renowned for their high flexural stiffness and low weight, are widely used across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and marine. However, their durability can be compromised by impact-related damages, which affect both the core and face sheets. This study explores the performance of corrugated sandwich panels compared to conventional designs under low-velocity impacts. Using a drop weight impact testing machine, panels made from polyurethane foam cores and …

Future Fibers for the Airport Engineering
Abstract: This paper explores the use of advanced fibers in drone technology, with a specific focus on textiles for drone body structures. As drones continue to evolve, selecting materials that enhance performance, durability, and sustainability has become increasingly critical. Traditionally, drone components rely on resin-based composites for strength and rigidity. However, recent advancements demonstrate that certain fibers can achieve exceptional structural performance without the need for resin. The study emphasizes materials …
