Composite is a combination of two or more materials that have different mechanical propertiesand characteristics. One of the reinforcement materials or reinforcement that is widely used is naturalmaterials. One of Indonesia's natural materials and a very large source of bamboo is widely used inbuilding construction as an alternative to wood because it has high flexibility and strength. To balancethe strength of bamboo with high tensile strength while low flexural strength, a solution is needed tomaximize the strength of bamboo by combining it with a bamboo composite system. In this study, bamboothat has been processed into woven sheets manually with plain weave type is then given a certain amountof epoxy resin and then a Tensile Strength Test is carried out using ASTM D3039 / D3039M and aflexural test using ASTM D7264 / 7264M to obtain maximum composite and flexural strength. After thetest was carried out, it was continued by observing the microstructure of the specimen using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). The results showed the tensile test value with a value of 50 Mpacompared to the ABS tensile strength value of 53 Mpa, the Modulus of Elasticity with a value of 0.38 GPacompared to the ABS modulus of elasticity of 0.41 Gpa. The results of the flexural test obtained flexuralstrength with a value of 47.06 Mpa compared to the value of ABS flexural strength of 49.6 Mpa, flexuralmodulus with a value of 0.52 Gpa compared to the value of ABS flexural modulus of 0.55 Gpa.

This study uses carbon fibers (CF) to reinforce polylactic acid (PLA) matrices to form CF/PLA biocomposites. Tensile test, flexural test, and impact test are performed on biocomposites to evaluate their mechanical properties. The results of tests show that an increment of the CF content results in an increase in tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength. The combination of 15 wt% CF provides the resulting biocomposites with a 72 % increase in tensile strength, a 322 % increase in flexural modulus, and a 96 % increase in impact strength.

In this study, the effect of wood powder and nanoclay particle content on composites’ mechanical behavior made with polyethylene matrix has been investigated. The wood flour as a reinforcer made of wood powder was at levels of 30, 40, and 50 wt.%, and additional reinforcement with nanoclay at 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt.%. Furthermore, to make a composite matrix, high-density polyethylene was used at levels of 70, 60, and 50% by weight. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) specimens were manufactured in injection molding. After preparing the specimens, tensile and bending tests were performed on samples. The mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural strength and flexural modulus were measured. Results showed that nanoclay particle content increases flexural modulus, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength. The experimental test results show that Young’s moduli increased with the volume of wood flour. The biggest modulus of elasticity was achieved in the samples having 50 wt.% of wood powder. Furthermore, the highest value of tensile strength was achieved at the level of 30 wt.%. The highest flexural strength was for the sample containing 50% wood powder by weight. Additionally, a numerical model was made utilizing the Abaqus software using the finite element method (FEM). Comparing the numerical and experimental results, it was found that they are compatible in the linear-elastic and plastic state of the material. There are no crucial differences between experiment and FEM.

The properties of concrete containing coarse recycled aggregates were investigated. Laboratory trials were conducted to investigate the possibility of using recycled aggregates from the demolition wastes available locally as the replacement of natural coarse aggregates in concrete. A series of tests were carried out to determine the density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete with and without recycled aggregates. The water cement ratio was kept constant for all the mixes. The coarse aggregate in concrete was replaced with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% recycled coarse aggregates. The test results indicated that the replacement of natural coarse aggregates by recycled aggregates up to 40% had little effect on the compressive strength, but higher levels of replacement reduced the compressive strength. A replacement level of 100% causes a reduction of 28% in compressive strength, 36% in split tensile strength and 50% in flexural strength. For strength characteristics, the results showed a gradual decrease in compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity as the percentage of recycled aggregate used in the specimens increased. 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate resulted in 43% savings in the cost of coarse aggregates and 9% savings in the cost of concrete.

This research work highlights the mechanical properties of multi-material by fused deposition modelling (FDM). The specimens for tensile and flexural test have been printed using polycarbonate (PC) material at different combinations of printing parameters. The effects of varied printing speed, infill density and nozzle diameter on the mechanical properties of specimens have been investigated. Multi-material specimens were fabricated with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the base material and PC as the reinforced material at the optimum printing parameter combination. The specimens were then subjected to mechanical testing to observe their tensile strength, Young’s modulus, percentage elongation, flexural strength and flexural modulus. The outcome of replacing half of ABS with PC to create a multi-material part has been examined. As demonstrated by the results, the optimum combination of printing parameters is 60 mm/s printing speed, 15% infill density and 0.8 mm nozzle diameter. The combination of ABS and PC materials as reinforcing material has improved the tensile strength (by 38.46%), Young’s modulus (by 23.40%), flexural strength (by 23.90%) and flexural modulus (by 37.33%) while reducing the ductility by 14.31% as compared to pure ABS. The results have been supported by data and graphs of the analysed specimens.

This paper presents a study on the flexural properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites. The epoxy-nanoclay resin was milled using a three roll mill machine to produce exfoliated structure nanocomposites. The fiber laminates specimens were manufactured by vacuum bagging system. These specimens were tested in the three point bend configuration following the ASTM D7264. The flexural modulus, flexural strength and strain to failure were then determined based on the flexural test results. The results showed that flexural modulus and flexural strength increases when a certain amount of nanoclay was included in the resin system. A maximum of 80% and 37% improvement of flexural strength and flexural modulus, respectively, were found at 5 wt% nanoclay content when compared to the neat GFRP composite. The improved properties of GFRP composites were achieved mostly due to an increase on the interfacial surface areas as well as a well-dispersion of nanoclay in the GFRP composite system. The fracture surfaces of specimens after flexural test were observed under FESEM. The results showed that the compressive failure region in the fiber was a dominant failure mechanism of the specimens due to a large compressive area on the fracture surface.

The influence of the rice husks powder (RHP) content and its particle size distribution on the composite’s tensile strength, fracturing elongation ratio, flexural strength and flexural elastic modulus has been investigated. Respective water absorption and thermal properties of PP composites incorporated with different proportion of RHP have also been analyzed. The microstructure of fractured surfaces was further observed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the composites with RHP of 245 μm have higher mechanical properties. The tensile strength and fracturing elongation ratio decrease with the increase of RHP content, and reach peak values in 30% RHP content. Water absorption and volume expansion ratio of the composite increase with the increasing of RHP content. Flexural strength and flexural modulus decrease after water absorption. When PHR content is low, the RHP particles are well distributed and the interface of RHP and PP is smooth. When PHR content is higher, the RHP particles tend to agglomerate, leading to poorer interface and lower mechanical properties, the composite failed with brittle fracture.

We all know that steel elements cannot be renewed and their constituent elements take a long time to form. So there is a need for other alternatives which have steellike properties. One alternative is bamboo, bamboo is one material that can be used as a substitute for steel, because bamboo has a high tensile strength close to the strength of steel. In this study an attempt was made to compare the use of reinforcement with bamboo on the outside with the skin and the inside without skin to determine the flexural strength. The flexural strength test results on variations of skin obtained the value of Max P: average: 3400 kg with an average deflection of 9.25 mm while in variations without the skin P Max produced an average of 2400 kg with deflection value of 1.92 mm. Kita ketahui bersama bahawa unsur baja tidak bisa diperbaharui serta unsur penyusunnya yang membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk terbentuk. Sehingga  perlu adanya alternatif  lain yang dimana memiliki sifat menyerupai baja. Salah satu alternatifnya adalah bambu, bambu merupakan salah satu bahan dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti baja, karena  bambu mempunyai kuat tarik yang tinggi yang mendekati kekuatan baja. Pada penelitian ini dicoba untuk membandingkan penggunaan tulangan dengan bambu bagian luar dengan kulit dan bagian dalam tanpa kulit guna mengetahui kekuatan lentur. Hasil pengujian kuat  lentur pada variasi kulit didapatkan nilai P Maks: rata-rata:3400 kg dengan  lendutan  rata-rata 9.25 mm sedangkan pada variasi tanpa kulit P Maks rata-rata yang dihasilkan 2400 kg dengan nilai lendutan 1.92 mm.
