“…7 shows the variation of modulus of elasticity with fiber volume fraction. This figure shows that the modulus of elasticity of unidirectional CFRP laminate increases linearly with the increase in fiber volume fraction, which is also observed by Pramudia et al [22]. The following equation can express the variation-𝐸 = 2.25𝑉 𝑓 + 3.79…”

The modulus of elasticity of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites greatly depends on the fiber orientation and the fiber volume fraction. This paper investigates the effects of fiber orientation and fiber volume fraction using the commercially available Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software Abaqus. Carbon fiber is the reinforcing material, while epoxy is used as the matrix. Representative Volume Element (RVE) of the unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composites are modeled in Abaqus, and the unidirectional tensile test is simulated to determine the modulus of elasticity for different fiber orientations and fiber volume fractions. The numerical results are verified by previously published results and by experimental results. It is found that the modulus of elasticity of the composite is maximum when the fiber inclination angle is 0°, i.e., the fibers are placed along the loading direction. As the fiber orientation angle increases, the modulus of elasticity also decreases and is almost constant after 45°. A linear increase in modulus of elasticity is observed for an increase in fiber volume fraction. This model will help the researcher to select the appropriate fiber orientation and volume fraction for a specific application.

The polymer composites comprising bi-directional carbon fabric incorporated in the epoxy matrix have been developed for various advanced applications in the field of automobile and aerospace sectors. The distinct advantages of using epoxy material with hardener are good adhesion, high tensile, compression and bending strengths, good corrosion, and heat resistance properties. Using carbon fiber enhances the stiffness, reduces the weight, and improves the chemical resistance apart from possessing high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Considering all the above aspects, the present work proposes to investigate the mechanical properties of carbon-reinforced epoxy composites with fiber matrix ratios of 40:60, 50:50, and 60:40 by wt% as these particular combinations have been limitedly addressed so far. The well-known hand lay-up technique has produced the laminates and the test samples prepared from the laminate are subjected to tensile, flexural, hardness, and impact strength properties. Based on the experimental work of the composites made in the laboratory, the fiber matrix ratio of 60:40 has revealed the best attributes in terms of higher mechanical strengths compared to the composites with fiber matrix ratio of 40:60 and 50:50 and the data obtained have been substantiated using scanning electron microscope analysis.
