Studies on Tensile Characteristics of Kevlar/Jute/ Syntactic Foam Hybrid Sandwich Composites

Abstract

In this study, a structured approach combining Taguchi experimental design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to investigate the effects of skin material choice, material density, and percentage of reinforcement on the tensile properties of Kelvar/jute/synthetic foam hybrid sandwich composites. By deliberately changing these variables and examining how they affect tensile strength, modulus, and other important qualities, the goal is to maximize the mechanical performance of these composites. This work gives helpful insights into the interaction of these variables and their contribution to the overall tensile behavior of the composites through a series of carefully planned experiments and statistical studies. While ANOVA aids in quantifying the importance of individual components and interactions, the Taguchi approach makes it easier to identify the ideal parameter values. Making a substantial addition to the field of materials science and engineering, this combined method provides a solid framework for improving the design and engineering of lightweight, high-strength sandwich composites with customized features.
