Noval Method for Fabrication of 3-D Spacer Fabric Composite and Investigation of Mechanical Property
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
The paper deals with the fabrication and flexural property studies of 3D Spacer fabrics with three different stiffener height, i.e., 5mm, 10mm and 15mm. The specimens were fabricated over two bidirectional woven fabric surfaces of glass fiber reinforced composite face sheet which were mechanically connected with vertical threads. An innovative stitching technique was used. The flexural strength and deflection of fabricated specimens were determined through three point bending test (ASTM C 393-62). A significant increase in flexural rigidity was observed when it compared with other panels, and found it is highest for 3D Spacer fabric with stiffener height 3415mm. Also, the results proved that flexural strength of 3D Spacer fabric increases with respect to the height of the stiffener. Also the results were compared with simply glued sandwich composite of thickness 15mm and found a significant improvement in flexural strength of 3D spacer fabric composite compared to glued composite.
