The Effect of Matrix and Fiber Type on Their Fatigue Characteristic in a Composite Material
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this research is to study the effect of the resin type and fibers in composite material on fatigue behavior by using two types of fibers and resin. The resin types are epoxy and polyester type and the fiber types are uniform carbon fiber (90-0) and particle carbon fiber type . Where The specimen are made for four slates from these materials ,in 30% volume fraction for the uniform carbon fiber (90-0), and 5% for particle carbon fiber. These specimen are cut in proper dimension according to the properties of fatigue testing device. At least These specimens are tested in order to know the effect of matrix and fiber type on the fatigue performance in a composite material.
