The Wear Testing Of Glass-Fiber/Epoxy Composites

The aim of this work was to investigate the wear rate behaviour of glass fiber/epoxy composites, concerning the fiber contents and the variation of disc velocity. Three different fiber contents of glass-fiber/epoxy composites were tested in a revolving disc wear testing machine. The specimens were tested in a particular wear distance, pressure, and fiber orientation. The velocity of the revolving disc was varied in three different velocities. The result of the investigation shows that the fiber content and the velocity of revolving disc influence the dimensionless wear rate, the specific wear rate and the time-related depth wear rate
