Recently, Fiber Reinforced Composite is used for making a propeller blade to develop its performance by increasing the payload and underwater speed of the vehicle. As a consequence of its feathery weight & high strength, numerous scholars/scientist substituted the conventional metallic material with composite material for crafting the propeller. In the contemporaneous work, predictions of pressure circulation around the profile of a propeller blade as a result of hydrostatic pressure difference are existing. Static structural stress investigation was executed for a single combination i.e. carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) & for hybrid condensation (a combination of two composite materials) i.e. CFRP & Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP). ANSYS APDL software is used to conclude von Mises pressure developed in the propeller blade. The result has been given away that it is more beneficial to use the hybrid blended material than the composite one. The weight value of propeller blade is found to be lower for the hybrid complexes, proposing the intrinsic worth of the contemporaneous work.

Increasing competition and innovation in automobile sector tends to modify the existing products or replace old products by new and advanced material products. A suspension system of vehicle is also an area where these innovations are carried out regularly. Now days the automobile Industry has shown much interest in using Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) components replacing conventional steel components due to its “high strength to low weight” ratio. Therefore replacement the steel open coil suspension springs (in heavy automobiles) with Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) open coil springs with the main aim to reduce its weight and thereby reduce the fuel consumption to some extent. A semi mechanized pultrusion process (E –Glass and Epoxy Resin) and braiding process is selected for fabricating the GFRP open coil springs. It is then tested in lab to study some of the variable parameters. Keywords: Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) , Coil spring , Pultrusion

A previously proposed micromechanical formula, aiming to predict the vaporization energy Qv of composite materials as a function of fiber and matrix properties and fiber volume ratio, was assessed. The experimental data, obtained on glass fiber reinforced plastic panels with different fiber contents cut by a medium power CO2 cw laser, were treated according to a procedure previously suggested, in order to evaluate Qv. An excellent agreement was found between experimental and theoretical Qv values. Theory was then used to predict the response to laser cutting of a composite material with a fiber content varying along the thickness. The theoretical predictions indicated that, in this case, the interpretation of the experimental results may be misleading, bringing to errors in the evaluation of the material thermal properties, or in the prediction of the kerf depth. Some experimental data were obtained, confirming the theoretical findings.
