Effect on Strength of Different Fiber Orientation Angles of the Composite Plate Under Out of Plane Load

Abstract

Composite materials obtained by combining two or more materials macroscopically; It is expressed as a new type of material with low specific gravity, high strength and high rigidity properties. Composite materials are materials that are used under different loads and can be produced in various constructions. In this study, the effects of fiber orientation angle degrees on stress and deformation in composite plates with different fiber materials were investigated using the finite element method. Graphite, glass and aramid as fiber materials; Epoxy was chosen as the matrix material. According to the analysis results, while the stress and deformation values increased as the fiber angle increased in the graphite and aramid fiber epoxy matrix composite plates, the stress and deformation values did not change at different fiber angles in the glass fiber epoxy matrix composite plate.
