In this study the lamina properties of glass/epoxy, carbon/epoxy and kevlar/epoxy composite along their principal coordinate axes were evaluated by performing tensile test. The laminates were prepared by hand lay-up technique and compressed using a compression molding machine at 70 oc and 80 bar pressure. The test was conducted as per ASTM standard D3039 by affixing strain gauges in the specimen to obtain the longitudinal and transverse strain. The mechanism of failure was also studied by performing fractographic analysis using scanning electron microscope which shows peeled off fiber surfaces in the case of kevlar/epoxy laminate.

In this study, fabrication of flax-abaca hybrid composites is done using hand lay-up technique. The arrangement of the composite is such that a layer of flax fiber is mounted on both sides by abaca fiber layers. Glass fiber reinforced polymer is used for lamination on both sides. Mechanical characterisation is done by performing tensile test on the hybrid composites. The tensile behaviour is compared with those of composites containing any one of the constituents of the hybrid composites. Morphological analysis of the specimen after testing is performed.

A study on the effect of the vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM) manufacturing process on the mechanical properties of cotton/epoxy composite is presented in this investigation. Woven cotton was used as reinforcing material embedded in epoxy resin. The woven cotton was treated with sodium hydroxide for one hour at concentrations of 0% to 20%. The tensile test showed that the untreated material had the highest ultimate strength and Young’s modulus. Observation of the fracture surface by scan electronic microscopy (SEM) was compared to the hand lay-up process as well as the results of the tensile test. The comparison showed that the VARTM process presents better mechanical properties than the hand lay-up process due to the reduction in discontinuities observed by means of optical microscopy.
