FEA and Experimental Analysis of Composite I-Beam Subjected to Tensile Test. Mr. Londhe A.H.1, Professor,Mechanical Engineering Department, Fabtech Engineering College Sangola, Maharashtra, ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------2. FEA OF 1ST I-BEAM SPECIMEN WITH ARALDITE Abstract - This paper presents experimental analysis of 2015 ADHESIVE adhesively bonded GFRP I-Beam in pulling load which 1
changes damage occurs, due to alterations in Adhesives used. The use of adhesive bonding in advanced composite structures has potential to reduce weight as compared to mechanical fasteners. Tensile tests were carried out for four composite I-beam specimens with two adhesives. The adhesives used have different properties. Web and flanges of I-Beam specimen is made of material GFRP and for joining web to flanges two different adhesives are used for two separate specimen. The present work is focused on quantifying and enhancing the failure load of GFRP composite I-Beam.

1.INTRODUCTION An I-beam, also known as H-beam-beam, Universal Beam, or double-T beam with an I- or H-shaped cross-section. The horizontal elements of the I beam are known as flanges, while the vertical element is termed the web. I-beams are usually made of structural steel and are used in construction and civil engineering. I-beams are widely used in the construction industry and are available in a variety of standard sizes. I-beams may be used both as beams and as columns.
Above table-2 gives the properties of adhesive Araldite 2015. By using this adhesive when we done FEA of 1st I-Beam component we got following graph of time Vs force capacity shown in chart 1 In the graph time is taken on x-axis and force capacity is taken on y-axis. This component have taken maximum force of 14945 N
