Effect of Fiber and Orientation Performance of Glass Fiber Composite Using Response Surface Methodology

The main objective of this research is to comprehensively analyze, simulate, and optimize several parameters that impact the appropriateness of materials for use in the structural components of automobiles. The methodology entails creating composites through the hand layup technique and utilizing the CCD method for evaluation. Response surface methodology (RSM) is utilized to create mathematical models that can forecast the ultimate tensile strength and flexural strength. These models consider several parameters, including fiber orientation, fiber percentage, and filler percentage. The findings indicate that these models are valuable for selecting the most effective variables to improve mechanical qualities. Adding nanofillers leads to a notable enhancement of 27% in tensile strength and 22% in flexural strength. Integrating polymers infused with SiO2 brings about unparalleled strength and flexibility, presenting prospective developments that can be applied in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and others.
