Abstract – Experimental Study of Reinforced Composite comprises of the process of fabrication of reinforced composite by introducing aramid fibre and sawdust in the vinyl resin matrix in various proportions, in particular, with different weight fraction. And analysis of the test results of these samples is performed to understand the change in specific mechanical properties in accordance to the change in the fraction of fibre used in the resin.
Keywords – Reinforced Composite, Aramid
I. INTRODUCTION
Composites materials are in used since the age of first development by the human civilization. Composites were used over vide range by the pre-industrialized civilization, from building structure or monuments to the daily usable utensils. With the growth of human civilization, new composite materials also emerged constantly and their applications have found its way in far more better and helpful manner to human needs.
In matrix-based structural composites, the matrix serves two principal purposes viz., binding the reinforcement phases in place and deforming to distribute the stresses among the constituent reinforcement materials under an applied force.
Also, the expectations from matrices are many. They may need to be withstanding temperature variations, be conductors or resistors of electricity, may have moisture sensitivity etc. Also, it offers weight advantages, ease of handling and other merits which may also become applicable depending on the purpose for which the matrices are chosen.
II. FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Fibre reinforced composites are most widely used and earliest known reinforced material, as they are known for their nature to satisfy the desired conditions, like they transfer strength to the matrix constituents by influencing and enhancing matrix properties as desired.
