Background: :
nowadays, the natural fibers are used in all industrial fields, particular in automotive technology and in civil engineering. this great emergence due to its biodegradability, recyclability and has no environmental effect.
Objective:
In this article, the effect of raffia, alfa and sisal fibers on the damage of biocomposite materials (raffia/PLA (polylactic acid), alfa/PLA and sisal/PLA), subjected to the same mechanical shear stress, has been investigated.
Method:
To calculate the damage to the interface, the genetic operator crossing are employed based on the fiber and matrix damage.
Result:
The results have shown that the raffia / PLA and alfa/PLA biocomposite materials are the better mechanical properties compared to sisal / PLA, this observation has been confirmed by the different values of interface damage of the biocomposite studied.
Conclusion:
The numerical results are similar and coincide perfectly with the results of Cox where he demonstrated that the Young's modulus of fibers improves the resistance of the interface. These conclusions are in very good agreement with our numerical data presented by the red cloud, and also in good agreement with the work presented by Antoine Le Duigou et al. and the work of Bodros et al. have shown that natural fibers greatly improve the physical characteristics of composite materials.
