Abstract

Abstract: In this work, Nylon 6 and E-glass fibre are pooled together to get a polymer matrix composite for the purpose of wear reduction in spur gear material. Nylon 6 and the E-glass fibre were combined by this process in this ratio of (80:20) & (70:30). This paper aimed to investigate the mechanical properties such as tensile, compression and impact test as per ASTM standard. Finite Element model were then developed to simulate the impact and tensile characteristics of PMC. The result shows that there is increase in the property of the composite by adding nylon.
