Abstract
The main aim of the project is to design and fabricate the material required to prepare surfboard. GFRP composites are used for preparing the laminates, either unidirectional or bidirectional. Experimental analysis is performed using Compression test, Impact test, and Drop Weight Impact Test on the material after the specimen is immersed in normal water and seawater for a period of 720 h (30 days), moisture absorption test is further carried out. Both analytical and experimental analyses are compared on the specimen and further results have been observed. In addition to these results, design and analysis of surfer board is done to meet the requirements. GFRP composites are prepared using American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and Indian Standard Organization (ISO) standards. Fiber-reinforced composite materials are demanded by the industry, especially for the applications where weight reduction is critical because of their high specific strength, ability to resist corrosion. The present work aims at the evaluation of various mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) with the inclusion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in different weight fractions. The specimens are compared with the inclusion of MWCNTs to the neat composite.
