A Study of the Flexure Behavior and Compressive Strength of Fly Ash Core Sandwiched Composite Materials

Abstract

This article's core material is comprised of a woven glass cloth and an epoxy matrix/adhesive component." Three different combinations were used to assess the flexural and compressive strength of epoxy and fly ash sandwiched composites. It's not uncommon to see composites with 65-35 percent fly ash with epoxy resin, 60-40 percent fly ash with resin, and 55-45 percent epoxy resin in use (fly ash and epoxy resin). The 60-40 percent composite specimen performed better than the 60-40 percent metal specimen in flexure and compression tests. This paper presents and discusses the investigation's results.
