Abstract

Natural frequency is an important property for any structure. In this study, three different polymer based composite (glass fibers, carbon fibers and glass + carbon fibers) considered for numerical free vibration analysis. Composite plates  are modeled having eight layer of fibers by varying volume fraction from 0.3-0.6. Aspect ratio kept constant in all the composites. Natural frequencies and mode shapes of all composites are focused. In addition importance is given on the variation across fiber volume fraction. Hybridised composite natural frequencies are compared with the glass and carbon composites.
