This paper aims at experimental analysis of composite box beam to estimate the material uncertainty. The deflection parameter has considered for analyzing the uncertainties present in material. The composite box beam is like a cantilever beam, where one end is fixed and at free end load is applied. In previous study free end deflection is calculated using Dial Gauges whose stylus will make point contact with proposed setup. But due to this contact it will create instrumental errors or manual error during experimentation. To avoid such situation the non contact device is developed called as Hall Effect Sensor which is the electronic device and it is works on electromagnetic field. If magnet is come in front of sensor it create magnetic field between them. The change in voltage or field is calibrated in terms of deflection of beam. In this paper, experimentation has carried out on four composite box beams which are manufactured by same process to find the material uncertainties and then the results are validated with COMSOL Multiphysics, software for same parameters.

Aluminium (Al) is existing in a very large quantity found in the earth’s crust and third most abundant element. Al is easily available, it has a high strength to weight ratio and it is durable. Al alloy is light weight and corrosion resistant hence used in aircraft and automobile industries. Wear is loss of material from surfaces and the life of material decreases due to wear. Al 6061 has good mechanical properties, it exhibits good weldability and it has wear resistant properties. In the literature review, information about wear resistance properties of composites containing Al 6061 as a matrix is studied for different reinforcement materials for various applications. Very few researchers studied Al 6061 is a matrix material and bagasse ash as reinforced materials. In this paper, aluminum composite material manufacturing using the stir casting method is carried out for manufacturing because of flexibility, simplicity, and having mass production capability. The problem identification about improving the wear properties of Al 6061 matrix material reinforced bagasse ash has been explored and further, research objective and methodology for the same is discussed with flowcharts. The work carried still to date is reported in this working paper.
