This thesis investigates the mechanical properties of composite materials with varying fiber orientations and nanoparticle compositions. Tensile tests reveal distinct mechanical properties: the unidirectional (0-degree) composite demonstrates the highest strength (657.41 MPa), stiffness (32.39 GPa), and ductility (5.437% strain), while the 90-degree composite exhibits lower strength (437.95 MPa) and stiffness (19.25 GPa) but higher ductility (4.847% strain). The 45-degree composite falls between the other two in terms of mechanical properties. Three-point flexural tests show similar trends, with the unidirectional (0-degree) composite displaying the highest strength (589.09 MPa) and stiffness. Charpy impact tests confirm the superior impact strength of the 0-degree composite, with an average impact strength of 13.51 J/cm2 and a maximum of 14.1287 J/cm2 for the 0-degree-1 sample, while the 90-degree composite exhibits the lowest average impact strength of 7.27 J/cm2. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into composite material properties for specific applications.
