【 摘 要 】

The aim of this work is to optimize the parameters namely load, elongation and thickness in tensile test of glass fibre reinforced polymer(GFRP) composites. In the present work, experiments were carried out as per the Taguchi experimental design and an L9 orthogonal array was used to study the influence of various combinations of parameters on stress and strain factors of the composite using MINITAB 17. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was conducted to determine the significance of each parameter on stress and strain value of the composite. The results indicate thatload is the most significant factor influencing the stress, and also it is the most significant factor inducing the strain of the composite. This work is useful in selecting the optimum values of various parameters that would, not only maximize the stress in the composite but also reduces the strain to a minimum level and improve the strength of the composite by acquiring a higher load bearing capacity.
