This paper presents the effect of volume fraction of rice husks on the mechanical properties of bamboo fiber/unsaturated polyester composites. The composite specimens were made from bamboo fiber with fixed volume fraction of 40% and rice husk particle as filler with volume fractions varied 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%. Matrix used was unsaturated polyester resin. Bamboo fibers and rice husk were surface treated using alkali solution 4% (by weight) for 2 hours. The manufacturing process of composite was using hand layup method. The specimens were tested in tension, bending and in impact loading. The results show that the addition of rice husk particles up to volume fraction of 20% does not result in a decrease of tensile strength, but after a volume fraction of 20%, the tensile strength tends to decrease. In bending test, the rice husk volume fraction up to 20% increase the bending strength, but after that then it tends to decrease. However the bending modulus seems unaffected by the volume fraction of rice husk. Similar to the bending modulus, the impact strength is not significantly affected by the volume fraction of rice husk.

Jute fabrics reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR)-based composites were prepared by conventional hand lay-up technique. Different proportions (5 to 50% by weight) of fibre content was used in preparation of the composite. Tensile Strength (TS), Tensile Modulus (TM), Bending Modulus (BM), Bending Strength (BS), Impact Strength (IS) of the fabricated composites were studied. Upon each addition of fiber content in the matrix, mechanical properties of the composites were increased. The Tensile Strength (TS) of the 5% and 50% fiber reinforced composites was 18 MPa and 42 MPa respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed interfacial properties of the composites and it was revealed that the bond between fiber and matrix was excellent.

[ID] Sebagai alternatif sumber energi konvensional, energi angin merupakan salah satu energi alternatif yang banyak dikembangkan. Pemanfaatan energi ini tidak lepas dari alat pengonversinya, kincir angin. Salah satu komponen kincir angin yang cukup penting adalah bilah. Bilah sering mengalami masalah berupa pengikisan pada bagian permukaannya akibat benturan dengan oleh partikel yang terbawa oleh angin yang dapat mengakibatkan fungsi bilah tidak optimal. Sehingga, dibutuhkan material pengganti yang lebih kuat tetapi ringan, yakni komposit. Komposit yang digunakan adalah komposit serat alam (serat Melaleuca leucadendra-poliester).

Didapatkan nilai kekuatan tarik berada sebesar 13,07 MPa, kekuatan tekuk optimum 36,8 MPa dan nilai optimum dari kekuatan impak sebesar 590,39 MPa. [EN] As an alternative to conventional energy sources, wind energy is one of the many alternative energies that have been developed. The utilization of this energy is inseparable from its conversion tool, windmills. One component of the windmill that is quite important is the blade. Blades often experience problems in the form of erosion on the surface due to collisions by particles carried by the wind which can cause the blade function to be not optimal. So, it takes a replacement material that is stronger but lighter, namely composite. The composites used were natural fiber composites (Melaleuca leucadendra-polyester fibers). In this study, the effect of the volume fraction of fiber in the form of shavings on tensile strength, flexibility, and toughness will be investigated. The making of natural fiber composites of Galam Wood (Melaleuca leucadendra) -polyester by mixing resin, catalyst, and Galam Wood fiber in the form of shavings is then printed in a mold that has been coated with aluminum foil. Samples were then tested for tensile strength with ASTM D 638 standard, bending test with ASTM D 790 standard and impact testing under ASTM D 6110 standard. The method used in manufacturing was the hand lay-up method. The result of this study is the optimum value achieved is 70% fiber in all mechanical tests. Obtained tensile strength values of 13.07 MPa, the optimum bending strength of 36.8 MPa and the optimum value of impact strength of 590.39 MPa.

This research work aims to fabricate bamboo fabric reinforced polyester composites (BFRPCs) and investigate the mechanical and degradation properties of BFRPCs. Composite samples were prepared using hand lay-up technique. Bamboo fabric was used as reinforcement material, unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was used as matrix and Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) was used as initiator which was employed as 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4% concentration. The mechanical properties of the BFRPC samples such as tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM) and impact strength (IS) were conducted. The degradation behaviors of the composites in soil burial, immersed in alkaline water and saline water were also evaluated. The BFRPC sample with 2 (%) MEKP concentration showed better tensile properties with TS and TM values of 39 MPa and 744 MPa respectively. For the 1 (%) MEKP concentration, the maximum values of BS, BM and IS were found to be 62.8 MPa, 1229 MPa and 25.7 kJ/m2 respectively. In the case of soil burial degradation the BFRPC sample with 1 (%) MEKP concentration shows better performance against loss of TS. No significant effect was found on the alkaline and saline water degradation properties of BFPRC for the variation of MEKP concentration. With the increase of all types of degradation time, decrease the tensile strength of all BFRPC samples.

Automated fiber placement (AFP) has been widely used as an advanced manufacturing technology for large and complex composite parts and the trajectory planning of the laying path is the primary task of AFP technology. Proposed in this paper is an experimental study on the effect of several different path planning placements on the mechanical behavior of laminated materials. The prepreg selected for the experiment was high-strength toughened epoxy resin T300 carbon fiber prepreg UH3033-150. The composite laminates with variable angles were prepared by an eight-tow seven-axis linkage laying machine. After the curing process, the composite laminates were conducted by tensile and bending test separately. The test results show that there exists an optimal planning path among these for which the tensile strength of the laminated specimens decreases slightly by only 3.889%, while the bending strength increases greatly by 16.68%. It can be found that for the specific planning path placement, the bending strength of the composite laminates is significantly improved regardless of the little difference in tensile strength, which shows the importance of path planning and this may be used as a guideline for future AFP process.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) made from synthetic fiber had been widely used for strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the past decades. Due to its high cost, detrimental to the environment and human health, natural fiber composites becoming the current alternatives towards a green and environmental friendly material. This paper presents an investigation on the mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced composite (BFRC) with different types of resins. The BFRC specimens were prepared by hand lay-up method using epoxy and vinyl-ester resins. Bamboo fiber volume fractions, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% and 50% was experimentally investigated by conducting tensile and flexural test, respectively. Results showed that the tensile and flexural strength of bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composite (BFREC) was 63.2% greater than the bamboo fiber reinforced vinyl-ester composite (BFRVC). It was found that 45% of bamboo fiber volume fraction on BFREC exhibited the highest tensile strength compared to other BFRECs. Meanwhile, 40% bamboo fiber volume fraction of BFRVC showed the highest tensile strength between bamboo fiber volume fractions for BFRC using vinyl-ester resin. Studies showed that epoxy-based BFRC exhibited excellent results compared to the vinyl-ester-based composite. Further studies are required on using BFRC epoxy-based composite in various structural applications and strengthening purposes.
