摘要: The study focuses on the fabrication of Glass Fiber Reinforced Aluminum (GLARE) laminates and evaluation their flexural properties. 2024 (T3) sheets were used for GLARE along with E-glass fiber in form chopped strand mat epoxy resin. Different thickness aluminum ranging from 0.2 mm to 3.5 was fabricate laminates. Hand layup technique is bond together epoxy/E-glass under different configurations. test specimens prepared as per ASTM standards, standard three-point bending carried out evaluate characteristics. An increase 60% load-bearing capacity observed when sheet an 0.35 mm. Similar results compared similar glass reinforced plastic (GFRP) analyze improvements, whereas, maximum deflection laminate decreased. There not many improvements case strength modulus varied. Fracture surface analysis indicated three modes failure namely, interfacial delamination, delamination bonding, breakage. When plastics configuration, a substantial observed.
