In this study, some of the mechanical properties of basalt fabric and carbon fabric reinforced particle
additive composite materials were investigated. The effect of fabric additive ratios on tensile strength,
Izod pendulum impact resistance, and three point bending properties has been tried to be revealed. In
order to determine the composite material that gives the optimum mechanical properties, Taguchi
Grey Relational Analysis (Taguchi based GRA) method was chosen as multi-objective optimization
method and used L18 (Mixed 3-6 Level) experimental design. Input variables-factors were
determined as fabric (6 levels), Al2O3 additive (3 levels) and SiC additive (3 levels) according to the
design. Tensile strength, impact resistance, and three point bending were selected as response
variables. These three tests were optimized. The optimum composite combination was determined
and found 30% carbon fabric, 4% Al2O3 and 0% SiC. The improvement by using confirmat
