Balsa Wood, Depron, E-Glass Fibre.Abstract
The present materials record greatest usage of composites in automotive and aircraft industry. Parts of aircrafts are experimenting materials with respect to mechanical properties which should have more strength to weight ratio, resistance to buckling, high ultimate tensile strength, high resistance to vibration, and high fatigue. Composite materials filled the requirement for making high strength to weight ratio components. This paper aims to study the Mechanical Characterization of Balsa wood, Depron and Glass fiber. The fabricated composites is highly suitable for manufacturing of floors in aircrafts instead of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite. Also, it will be used for luggage compartment. Using Hand Layup process specimens were prepared and the tensile test, Temperature Test and Flexures test has been performed as per ASTM standard. We observed 12%-17% more bending strength from this experiment which suits well for aircraft floor panel.
