ABSTRACT :

The design parameters and manufacturing technologies involved in the fabrication of composites is a vital advance in the development of materials. The selection of design parameters like matrix material, fillers, volume fraction, curing temperature and treatment play an important role in bringing tailor made properties in the resulting composites. The present work focusses on identifying the proper design parameters for Epoxy/E-Glass composite to enhance its strength. The fabrication trials are based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. Impact strength and tensile strength of the composites are observed for various combinations of design parameters. Grey relational analysis (GRA) properly supplemented by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is employed to predict the optimal design parameters.  

Keywords: Taguchi; Epoxy/E-Glass composites; Grey relational analysis; ANOVA; Orthogonal array; Optimization.
