Experimental & Theoretical Analysis of Composite (Polyester & Silicon-Carbide) Cantilever Beam

A cantilever beam is made from composite material which is consist of (matrix: polyester) and (particles: Silicon-Carbide) with different volume fraction of particles. A force is applied at the free end of beam with different values. The experimental maximum deflection of beam which occurs at the p...
