      Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites by Using Taguchi and EDAS Approach.

AB  - Two-body abrasive wear behavior of glass fabric reinforced (GC) epoxy and 
      titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) filled composites have been conducted out by using a 
      tribo test machine. GC and TiO(2) filled GC composites were produced by the hand 
      layup technique. The mechanical performances of the fabricated composites were 
      calculated as per ASTM standards. Three different weight percentages were mixed 
      with the polymer to develop the mechanical and abrasive wear features of the 
      composites. Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS), a 
      multi-criteria decision technique is applied to find the best filler content. 
      Based on the output, 2wt% TiO(2) filler gave the best result. Abrasive wear tests 
      were used to compare GC and TiO(2) filled GC composites. The abrasion wear 
      mechanisms of the unfilled and TiO(2) filled composites have also been studied by 
      scanning electron microscopy. The outcome of the paper suggests the correct 
      proportion of filler required for the resin in order to improve the wear 
      resistance of the filled composites. Taguchi combined with Multi-Criteria 
      Decision Method (MCDM) is used to identify the better performance of the TiO(2) 
      filled epoxy composites.
