The usage of laminated glass fiber reinforced polyester composites in aerospace applications helps to reduce overall weight of the aerospace structures. The flexural strength of the laminated glass fiber reinforced composites becomes more important when they are employing for aeroplane wings. In this work, a laminated glass fiber polyester composite with two distinct sets of six different woven lamina stacking sequences is manufactured via hand layup technique. The effect of stacking sequence over the total ply failure load are investigated through universal testing machine. Finally, the progressive failure of the lamina in composites is also examined using ANSYS software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
