“…15, it was evident that an increase in the filler loading percentage in the composites resulted to an increase in the water absorption percentage, because of the hydrophilic nature of the filler material. A similar trend was observed in different natural filler/fibre reinforced composites[31][32]. There was no water absorption for the pure vinyl ester resin at aforementioned four different environments, due to the hydrophobic nature of the resin.…”

“…In their analysis, Todkar et al [25] stated that the fiber orientation effect plays a critical role and longitudinal fibers gives higher mechanical strength than crosswise and random direction. Ganeshan et al [26] found that the mechanical properties are greatly influenced by fiber length of the reinforced material and weight percentage while fabricating madar fiber reinforced polyester composites. Several investigations [27][28][29][30][31] on the usage of single reinforced PALF or Basalt in epoxy composites has been reported.…”

In this modern era, the natural fibers usage in automobile and construction sectors has been increased. The goal of the current work was to investigate the fiber orientation effect on dynamic mechanical properties of hybrid Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF) hybridized with basalt reinforced epoxy composite at changing vibration frequencies. Hand Lay-up technique was used to manufacture the composites by keeping the unidirectional basalt fabric as an outer layer by keeping PALF as inner layer followed by static compression method. Tensile and flexural moduli were also determined apart from storage modulus (E′) and damping factor (tan δ) for different PALF fiber angles. The results exemplified that not only the storage modulus and loss factor but also glass transition temperature (Tg) as well found to increase with frequency and also the fiber orientation angle has a greater impact on dynamic and static properties.

“…In addition, micromechanical model is used to classify heterogeneous materials like composite [23,24]. Generally, many parameters influence the micromechanical properties of the composite such as fibre and matrix properties, fibre and matrix loading, size of the composite, fibre and matrix sources, interfacial adhesion between the fibre and matrix and orientation of the composite [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The most frequently used micromechanical models are rule of mixtures (ROM), rule of hybrid mixtures (ROHM), Halpin-Tsai equation and Tsai-Pagano equation.…”

Material selection has become a critical part of design for engineers, due to availability of diverse choice of materials that have similar properties and meet the product design specification. Implementation of statistical analysis alone makes it difficult to identify the ideal composition of the final composite. An integrated approach between statistical model and micromechanical model is desired. In this paper, resultant natural fibre and polymer matrix from previous study is used to estimate the mechanical properties such as density, Young's modulus and tensile strength. Four levels of fibre loading are used to compare the optimum natural fibre reinforced polymer composite (NFRPC). The result from this analytical approach revealed that kenaf/polystyrene (PS) with 40% fibre loading is the ideal composite in automotive component application. It was found that the ideal composite score is 1.156 g/cm 3 , 24.2 GPa and 413.4 MPa for density, Young's modulus and tensile strength, respectively. A suggestion to increase the properties on Young's modulus are also presented. This work proves that the statistical model is well incorporated with the analytical approach to choose the correct composite to use in automotive application.
