Investigation of Mechanical Properties on Fibre Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites Using ABAQUS

Abstract

The main aim of this work is to explore the Nanocomposites for industrial and engineering applications. Nanocomposites or nanofillers are bringing exemplary changes in the field of material science and polymer composites. In this complicated process a minor part of material is added to a variety of polymers and other materials which can improve the performance and quality of materials including mechanical, thermal, flexural stiffness, tensile strength, toughness, water absorption, flame retardancy and scratch resistance etc. This paper is concerned with investigation of the mechanical properties on composite material made of E-Glass fibre and LY556 epoxy with induced nanoparticles under tensile load. The tensile tests carried out on different composite samples as per the ASTM standard.
