Low velocity impact can be divided into several types of evaluation. Charpy and Izod impact testing are two types of testing that mostly used by the industry as it was known as an economical quality control method. In this short review, previous studies on the charpy and izod impact testing on natural fibre composites will be discussed. It was found that the percentage fibre loading is the mostly factors being analysed, besides the treatment applied and size of fibre. It was suggested that the range of 10-30 % fibre loading were the mostly applied in short fibre natural composites.
The demand for natural fibers and natural fiber-based products has strongly increased in recent years with a projected rising trend for future years. Nowadays natural occurring fibers such as kenaf, sisal, hemp, flax, coir, bamboo, jute, etc. are widely used over synthetic fibers in reason of solving an environmental issue. Since natural fibers are renewable and biodegradable materials, products made from such materials are also environmentally friendly. New markets of composite can be widen by continuing a research and development of a natural fiber composites in the field of commercial construction, automotive and aerospace. This paper reviewed on computational analysis and experimental work of natural fiber composite which performed in aerospace industry in order to substitute the synthetic fiber composite. Comparison of computational analysis and experimental also will be revealed to show the difference of properties and performance. The information will help to provide a detail for further study in simulation analysis and experimental work of the natural fiber composite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
