AbstractThe performance of composites loaded in quasi-static indentation is influenced by properties of reinforcement fibres, fibre volume fraction, fibre orientation and layup sequence of the composites. The effect of fibre orientation of 0?, 15?, 30?, 45?, 60?, 75?, and 90?, and layup sequence of [(+?,-?)4]s and [??2,04]s on quasi-static indentation properties of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were determined through modelling and simulation analysis using ANSYS software. The effect of fibre types, Kenaf and Glass fibre, and the effect of fibre volume fraction on quasi-static indentation properties and penetration depth properties were simulated and analysed. It is found that as the fibre orientation angle increases from 0? to 45?, the maximum quasi-static indentation strength increases, and then starts to decrease until 90?. The maximum quasi-static indentation strength of Kenaf FRP composite was observed at 45? fibre orientation with 39.2 MPa and 40.3 MPa for layup sequence of [(+?,-?)4]s and [??2,04]s, respectively. The maximum penetration depth of the composite was observed at 45? fibre orientation with 0.312 mm and 0.315 mm for both layup sequences. The addition of 0? fibre orientation into the layup sequence of [??2,04]s helps in increasing the curve of maximum quasi-static indentation stress of Kenaf FRP composite by 25%.Paper ID: 13A13F
