Enhancing the Mechanical and Dielectric Strength of Glass Fiber Composites: A Filament Winding Process Study
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research aims at establishing how the filament winding method can be employed to enhance the mechanical and dielectric characteristics of glass fibre reinforced composites. These are materials which have properties above the constituent parts of fibers and matrix, and fibers and a matrix consolidate to make them. Since the level of dielectric strength and flexural bending stress depends on such parameters as winding angle, the number of layers, and winding speed, this study examines these factors systematically. The significance of each of these factors and their optimal combination is identified in this study by means of regression analysis and Taguchi design L9 array. The results are depicted as containing effects of significance as well as adding knowledge in regards to measures of the composite needed alterations in winding angle, number of layers, and winding speed. This generates effective guidelines for developing premium quality glass fiber composite materials and enhances the knowledge of the composite behaviour. In conclusion, the findings captures the essence of how parameter optimization is crucial to the determination of desired properties of the developed materials and bring about development of composites for use in areas that require both mechanical and electrical strength as well as electrical insulation.
