Abstract Studies were conducted to observe the effect of fracture toughness and damping response on
fabric reinforced epoxy polymer composites. The samples of glass fabric, kevlar fabric and
carbon fabric having 15wt%, 25wt%, 35wt%, 45wt% and 55wt % fabric content were prepared
and tested following ASTM standards. Fracture toughness, peak load and increase in energy
absorption are determined for the fabric-epoxy composites. Effect of temperature on storage
modulus, loss modulus and tan delta values for various percentages of fabric epoxy composites
are noticed and corresponding damping response behaviour is determined. The results revealed
that reduction in strength at higher percentage of… More >
