Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is used in aeronautical industry in the manufacture of different aircraft components. This paper is about studying the mechanical (tensile, flexural, interlaminarshear strength), characterizations of the laminate. A carbon reinforced polymer laminate of G939 material and 913 resin system are selected to study its mechanical characteristics with five different orientations like 0°/90°, 0°/45°, 0°/45°/90°, 0°/0°, 90°/90° .The Laminate is fabricated by vacuum bagging and cured using autoclave at 135°C. Tensile, flexural and ILSS (Inter laminar shear strength) were carried out for the specimens according to the standards.

Keywords: CFRP, prepreg, vacuum bagging, autoclave curing
