Experimental investigation on Stiffness to Load ratio for L-joint Composite in Aerospace Application

Abstract

In today’s growing world composite materials are one type of materials which satisfy the unabated thirst for new materials which has to satisfy the various requirements in various fields. Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs) is a fiber reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced with fine fibers of glass. The present work is undertaken to determine the influence of hollow steel tube reinforced in composites. Experimental investigation on strength of steel tube reinforced of E-glass polyester composite material L-section is carried out to increase the stiffness of glass/polyester composite material. Specimens with tubes will give the higher strength than the specimens without tubes.
