This study presents the experimental results of the influence of mechanical fatigue and tensile on hybrid composite materials. Epoxy with Novolac resin are used as matrix for the reinforced materials that consist of glass fiber type E. The slates made of hybrid composite materials for two proportions (80% epoxy, 20% Novolac) and (60% epoxy, 40% Novolac) were reinforced by three volume fractions (10%, 20% and 30%) of glass fiber type (E), where been manufacturing (6) panels of hybrid composite materials, all these panels cutting into two groups samples with dimension (70x 10) mm in order to execute the fatigue test and (150x20) mm for tensile test, according to the specifications of the device used.The process took place in two stages: The two stages include executing the fatigue and tensile test specimens with a ratio (80% epoxy, 20% Novolac) in the first stage and (60% epoxy, 40% Novolac) in the second stage for the volume fractions (10%, 20% and 30%) of glass fiber type (E) and comparison the results between them for each stage. The results obtained from fatigue test in the first stage showed that the number cycle for fatigue limit decreased when the load and the number of layers of reinforcing are increased. But in the tensile test for the samples the results showed that the value of the elongation increasing to the point of failure when the load increased for the same layers of reinforcement, as well as the value of elongation decreasing to a failure when increased the number of layers of reinforcing glass fibers type (E) for the same load. The results of tensile and fatigue test obtained from the second stage showed similar to the results in the first stage, but the cycle number of fatigue limit less value from the first stage and the stress was higher in the fatigue test. For tensile test the elongation values less and the stress values higher for the same volume fraction of the reinforcement due to increase in the proportion of Novolac. |
