| Summary: | The field of composite materials is both old and new. It is only since the early
1960s have engineers and scientists exploited seriously the vast potential of fabricated
fibrous composite materials. Development of new composites and new applications of
composites is now accelerating. This project is a study of how the critical load changed if
we varying the length of strut. Besides that, we need to design the test rig that hold
column during the buckling test with using fixed-fixed as the boundary condition.
Comparison between the buckling test method and theoretical from resin burn-off test
data will be analysed and determine the suitable length that valid through compression or
buckling. Any error occurs between theoretical and experimental will be minimize by
modify the original equation of Euler Equation. Here, the aspects that we will see is the
factor which contribute to the effect of buckling whether the length, geometry, Young's
modulus or the volume fraction of fibres ,etc. |
