Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) play a crucial role in a wide range of engineering submissions, owing to their impressive strength-to-weight ratio and customizable mechanical properties. This research focuses on examining how PMCs, enhanced with different materials, specifically carbon fibres, glass fibres, and steel fibres, behave when subjected to dynamic and static loading conditions. The study involves creating three distinct types of PMC specimens, each reinforced with one of the mentioned fibres. To comprehensively gauge their performance, Charpy impact tests was conducted to assess the material’s resilience to sudden dynamic loading. Moreover, hardness tests, including Vickers and Rockwell hardness tests are carried out to evaluate the material’s aptitude to withstand static loading and deformation. The findings of the experiment reveal that the carbon composite, as manufactured, displays promising characteristics with an impact resistance of 18 Joules and a hardness of 31 HV.
Keywords: Polymer Matrix Composite; Carbon Fibre; Glass Fibre; Steel Fibre; Impact Test; Hardness Test.
