“…The main outcome of these studies is that the feed rate has the larger contribution to the machining response [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Indeed, cutting forces, delamination factor and global surface roughness increase by feed rate increasing.…”

This work aims to investigate the tribological effects of coated tools on the surface finish of natural fiber reinforced plastics (NFRP) during profile milling process with particular emphasis on the natural fiber cutting mechanisms and tool wear. Both up-milling and downmilling configurations were considered. The cutting experiments were carried out on unidirectional flax fibers reinforced polypropylene resin (UDF/PP) using three different cutting tools. Uncoated tungsten carbide, titanium diboride (T i B 2 ) coated and diamond coated were used to conduct profile milling tests. Tribological cutting contacts were evaluated by measuring the specific cutting energy. Surface state was acquired by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM). Surface topography was measured using 2D Surfascan stylus profilometer. Machined NFRP surface finish was characterized using standard and multiscale analysis based on wavelets transform.Results show that the cutting edge radius made by tool coating has a significant effect on surface finish. Natural fiber shearing is more efficient once the removed chip thickness exceeds the cutting edge radius value. Moreover, it had been demonstrated that the pertinent scales for surface finish analysis are between 50 µm and 1 mm which correspond to the multiscale fiber reinforcement structure. Furthermore, and unlike the uncoated tool, T i B 2 and diamond coatings allow a good wear resistance of the cutting tools against the tribological solicitations of flax composites machining.

“…In addition to this, it removed the moisture content, increased surface roughness resulting in better mechanical interlocking and modified the surface by removing a certain amount of lignin, hemicelluloses, wax, and oils.

The main objective and novelty of this study is to investigate the effect of particle size and alkali treatment on physical, mechanical properties of tamarind pod shell (TPS)‐reinforced epoxy composites. The treated and untreated composites were fabricated with different particle sizes with TPS content of 10 wt%. The mechanical, physical, and morphological properties of specimens were investigated. It was revealed that the density and mechanical properties of the treated and untreated composites increased with the decrease in the particle size; whereas, the water absorption percentage and void content decreased for the same. The treated composite with the particle size of 75 μm exhibited the maximum tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. Further, the multiscale finite element (FE) model was developed using the Digimat‐FE software to simulate the tensile behavior of composites with different particle size. The simulation results revealed that the stress concentration level was more in the vicinity of the voids, and the higher stress concentration was observed in the matrix phase with the increase in particle size. Also, it was found that the predicted results from the multiscale FE model showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The results suggested that the TPS filled epoxy composites have potential utility in the fields of automotive interior panels, particulate board panels, household goods, packaging materials, building partitions, and many other applications.

“…At 2 wt % filler content, the flexural strength increased by 5.26 %, while at 10 wt % filler content, the flexural strength increased by 28.95 %. The observed increases in flexural strength with increases in filler content is attributable to the better increased surface area of filler in the matrix and the fact that the filler which is known to have high crystalline content, is stronger and stiffer than the matrix and is, therefore expected to share the load applied in the matrix effectively with the crystalline fibrils in it [27]. …”

Abstract. The effects of pineapple leaf powder (PALP) on the mechanical properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were studied. HDPE and PALP composites were prepared by injection moulding technique. The filler (PALP) contents investigated were 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt% for each formulation. The result of the mechanical tests carried out on the HDPE/PALP composites showed that the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, and hardness of the composites increased as the filler content increases for all the filler contents investigated while the elongation at break (EB) for PALP/HDPE composites was found to decrease as the filler content increases for all the filler contents investigated. The tensile strength of PALP/HDPE composites was increased by 6.49% at 2 wt% filler content, and 30.39% at 10 wt% filler content. It was also observed, from the results, that the elongation at break of PALP/HDPE composites was decreased by 2.40% at 2 wt% filler content, and 10.24% at 10 wt% filler content. The present study has highlighted the utility of pineapple leaf powder (PALP) as reinforcing filler in HDPE compounding. Pineapple leaf, which is an agricultural waste has been shown to have potential as a cheap, more readily available and more environmentally friendly filler.
