Abstract

Vacuum infusion is a manufacturing method to improve mechanical properties of composite. Before apply this in LSU structure, it should be experimented using tensile test to know mechanical properties of the composite. Tensile test is an experimental to know tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and failure modes of composite. Experimental process of CFRP composite using unidirectional carbon fiber and polyester matrix was done using vacuum infusion technology, strart from specimens preparation until testing steps. Manufacturing results gave the values of composite density and thickness; mass and volume fraction of fiber and matrix materials. Specimens and testing process are refer to ASTM D3039 tensile test standard for composite matrix polymers. The testing results showed 1011.67 MPa ultimate tensile strength, 59074.96 MPa modulus of elasticity, and SGV (long spliting, gage, various) failure mode .

 

ABSTRAK

Vacuum infusion merupakan salah satu metode manufaktur yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan sifat mekanik komposit. Untuk mengaplikasikan metode ini dalam pembuatan struktur LAPAN Surveillance UAV (LSU), perlu diketahui terlebih dahulu sifat mekanik dari komposit hasil metode ini secara eksperimen. Salah satu eksperimen yang dilakukan yaitu pengujian tarik untuk mendapatkan tensile strength, modulus elastisitas, dan failure mode yang terjadi pada komposit. Eksperimen dilakukan terhadap komposit CFRP menggunakan material serat karbon searah (UD) 0â° dan matriks poliester dibuat dengan metode vacuum infusion mulai dari tahap preparasi sampai tahap pengujian. Dari hasil manufaktur didapat nilai densitas dan ketebalan komposit serta fraksi massa dan fraksi volume material penyusun komposit. Spesimen dan proses pengujian mengikuti standar ASTM D3039 yang merupakan standar pengujian tarik untuk komposit dengan matriks polimer. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan nilai ultimate tensile strength 1011,67 MPa, modulus elastisitas 59074,96 MPa, dan failure mode SGV (Long Spliting, Gage, Various).
