Natural Fiber Composite

Natural fiber composite materials are such an appropriate material, that replaces synthetic composite materials for many of practical applications where we need high strength and low density. Natural fiber composites combine the technological, ecological and economical aspects. This leads to discovering its vast applications in the aeronautics, automotive, marine and sporting sectors. This paper deals with the study on mechanical characterization (Tensile, Compression and Flexural) of jute/epoxy (JE) polymer composite. The flexural properties of composites are experimentally tested and are simulated in commercially available FEA software. Flexural tested results are in good agreement with FEA results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the failed samples reveals the matrix dominated failure.

Natural Fiber Composite

Composites are becoming essential part of today’s material because they offer advantages such as low weight, corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength; faster assembly etc. composites are generating curiosity and interest all over the worlds. The attempts can be found in literature for composite materials high strength fiber and also natural fiber like jute, flax and sisal natural fibers provides data but there is need of experimental data availability for unidirectional natural fiber composite with seldom natural fiber like cotton, palm leaf etc., it can provide a feasible range of alternative materials to suitable conventional material. It was decided to carry out the systematic experimental study for the effect of volume fraction of reinforcement on longitudinal strength as well as Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) using developed mould-punch set up and testing aids. The testing is carried out as per ASTM D3039/3039M-08. The comparative assessment of obtained experimental results with literature is also carried out, which forms an important constituent of present work. It is also observed through SEM images and theoretical investigations that interface/interphase plays and important role in natural fiber composite.

Fiber Composite Materials

From the last few decades, the study of natural fiber composite materials has been gaining strong attention among researchers, scientists, and engineers. Natural fiber composite materials are becoming good alternatives to conventional materials because of their lightweight, high specific strength, low thermal expansion, eco-friendly, low manufacturing cost, nonabrasive and bio-degradable characteristics. It is proven that natural fiber is a great alternative to synthetic fiber in the sector of automobiles, railway, and aerospace. Researchers are developing various types of natural fiber-reinforced composites by combining different types of natural fiber such as jute, sisal, coir, hemp, abaca, bamboo, sugar can, kenaf, banana, etc. with various polymers such as polypropylene, epoxy resin, etc. as matrix material. Based on the application and required mechanical and thermal properties, numerous natural fiber-based composite manufacturing processes are available such as injection molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding, hand lay-up, filament welding, pultrusion, autoclave molding, additive manufacturing, etc. The aim of the paper is to present the developments of various manufacturing processes of natural fiber-based composites and obtained mechanical properties.

Natural fiber composite materials are expected as capable materials which may replace the conventional and synthetic materials for the practical applications where manufacture requires less weight and energy conservation. In this study, three kinds of cellulosic-fiber mats including kenaf, bamboo and jute mats were used to fabricate composites by hand lay-up and compression molding methods. As the basic investigation, low cycle fatigue tests were carried out to analyze the material’s fatigue properties by using different bending or tensile loads. Moreover, the scanning electron microscope observation (SEM) on the fracture surfaces has been carried out respectively to investigate the degradation under cycle loads and discuss the possibility of kenaf/bamboo/jute composites achieving hypothetical outstanding mechanical properties in engineering uses.

Natural fiber composite materials are gradually becoming more popular due to light weight, low cost, bio degradability, easy to manufacture, lower environmental impact and less energy requirement for manufacturing. These properties of natural fiber make it suitable for automobile, aerospace and other industrial applications. In present study, analysis of mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and Young’s modulus are carried out for various composites. Free vibration characteristics of natural fiber composite beams are also studied analysed. In addition to analytical study, finite element analysis also carried out using ANSYS. In this, the test specimens were modelled in accordance to experimental test specimen and model analysis is performed.
