Popis: The catastrophic crisis of energy and huge pollution has made the industries to focus on lightweight materials. Composite material is made by consolidating at least two divergent materials. They are consolidated so that the subsequent composite material or composite has unrivaled properties which are not possible with a solitary constituent material. This research investigates the effect of Graphene concentration in epoxy resin on the tensile and flexural properties of Kevlar fiber laminate of 4 mm thickness. The laminate had been manufactured by using hand lay-up procedure according to ASTM standards and test had been conducted on it. From this experimentation various tensile and flexural properties values obtained. Same procedure conducted on three different graphene concentration variation (5%, 6% and 7%) weight on the prepared material. Analytical investigation of composites is done in Autodesk fusion 360 software. It was found that Kevlar with 7% graphene is recommended for applications where tensile and flexural loadings arise.
