Abstract

Glass fiber reinforcement has been a recent trend and effective method for enhancing strength characteristic of metals, plastics, joints etc. at a very low competitive cost. Aluminium is a light weight metal with less strength characteristic as compared to other metals. Comparative analysis is made between aluminium and glass fibre reinforced aluminium specimen for studying strength properties. A nonlinear material approach is used for simulation. Experimental analysis will be done with help of three- point bending test. Force plots are used for comparing both models. FEA and experimental results will be validated by comparative analysis. Result and conclusion are going to be stated after the comparative analysis between FEA & Experimental testing.
