In this examination, common strands like Abaca, Coir and Flax , Abaca and Coir (half breed) , Flax and Coir (cross breed) and Flax and Abaca (crossover) are manufactured with bio epoxy tar utilizing forming technique. In this paper the ideal blending of fortitude and sap is accomplished by utilizing Taguchi strategy. In this effort, flexural unbending nature and rigidity of Abaca besides Coir (half and half), Flax and Coir (hybridand Flax and Abaca (cross breed) composite at dry and wet conditions were considered. Hardness test remained directed utilizing rigidity testing machine. In this effort small scale edifice of the examples are examined by the Skim through Electron Hand-held microscope.

The naturally available material such as Sisal has been using in several applications in fabricating composite materials due to its exceptional durability with a minimum wear and tear and due to its ability to stretch. Using sisal fiber as reinforcement to form sisal fiber reinforced polymer composites, strengthen the study of mechanical properties of the composites. In this project, we have enhanced the mechanical properties of the sisal/glass fiber incorporated with polyurethane. Polyurethane is an extremely versatile elastomer used in countless applications worldwide. It has some excellent properties like high abrasive resistance, wide range of hardness, high load bearing capacity, wide resilience range, flexibility, strong bonding properties which makes it an ideal choice in the field of composite preparation. In this study, the composite material is fabricated by mixing Polyurethane proportionally with the sisal/glass fiber. After the fabrication is done, it is planned to study the mechanical properties of the composite material using different testing tools like Universal Testing Machine, Izod test, and hardness tester.


The point of research is improvement of biocomposite materials dependent on biopolymers and characteristic filaments has been made through creation of Natural fiber powdered material (Abaca, Mudar and Hemp strengthened polymer composite material by utilizing bio epoxy tar. The present work centers around the forecast of push power and torque of the normal fiber fortified polymer composite materials and the qualities, contrasted and the Artificial Neural Network.

Ultrasonic longitudinal wave propagation is studied in out-of-autoclave (OoA) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer composite material with varying levels of porosity contents. A combination of cure pressures and a solvent is used to produce specimens with void contents in the range of 0% to 22%. Ultrasonic measurements are made in through-transmission mode, and the data is processed to study various aspects of wave interaction with porosity in OoA specimens. The specimens with a wide range of void contents have enabled the study of broader trends of ultrasonic center frequency, wave velocity, and attenuation with respect to porosity. Results show ultrasonic center frequency and wave velocity are decreased linearly as the void content increases. The relationship of ultrasonic wave attenuation can be approximated by a logarithmic relationship when considering the full range of void content studied. Strength measurements of specimens with varying void contents are made using the flatwise tensile (FWT) test. It is observed that the strength rapidly decreases with increasing porosity. Correlations made between FWT strength, ultrasonic wave velocity, and attenuation are best described by logarithmic relationships. The data shows a potential for inferring strength knockdowns due to the presence of porosity based on ultrasonic measurements.
