“…Vishnu Prasad et al [7] has compared the experimental and finite element results of Tensile test results, and proved the results to be closer. Also natural fiber's application has been proven in components like gears by C. M. Meenakshi [8] In this work, two types of hybrid fiber reinforced laminates are prepared with Glass/kenaf and Glass /Aloe vera by using VARTM method, and their tensile and flexural strengths are computed experimentally, and compared using Finite element Analysis (ANSYS 16.2). given in Table 1 are average of five samples tested.…”

Fiber reinforced composites are the new age materials, which play a major role in the service sector and engineering field. These materials are tailor-made materials with a different volume fraction of resin and fibers, and the stacking sequence could be made unique for each application depends on the strength requirement. Therefore, whenever engineers try to use a new configuration the proposed laminate has to be tested for its mechanical performance. Nevertheless, experimental testing of each new laminates is a time consuming and expensive process. In this work, comparative study on the results of the mechanical performance of glass/kenaf and glass/aloe Vera fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates obtained using both experimental testing and Finite element Analysis Method (ANSYS 16.2) is done to find the closeness between the results from the two methods. The laminates are prepared using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method (VARTM), and the tensile and flexural tests are carried out based on ASTM standard. The comparison of the experimental and FEA method shows that the variation in results is only between 8 to 3%, in two types of laminates, proving that the Finite element method is equally effective, less time consuming and economical for composite analysis.

“…Also, to improve the mechanical properties of fibers, the improvement of interfacial bonding is crucial. The alkali treatment provides superior bonding, defects reduction, reduced moisture absorption, increasing crystallinity and finer fabric [28]. High moisture absorption and weak adhesion to hydrophobic matrices was resulted from the hydrophilicity of natural fibers.…”

Abstract. Natural fibers, characterized by sustainability, have gained a considerable attention in recent years, due to their advantages of environmental acceptability and commercial viability. In this paper, the characterization of natural fibers including the mechanical properties and alkalization of fibers is presented. Most recent study had gone through the mercerization process to improve the toughness of natural fibers; which is a well-known hydrophilic material. Traditional reinforcement method was commonly used to fabricate a natural fiber composite such as hand lay-up and mold press due to its convenience in terms of time and cost. Also, different kind of matrix material used in different kind of natural fibers gave high impact on the tensile and flexural test result. By selecting appropriate chemical treatment, matrix material and fabrication method, the tensile and flexural test gives different results and findings. As most researchers tend to use metals to create corrugated cores for sandwich structure, it is possible to develop this structure using natural fibers such as kenaf, wood dust, and other natural fibers.

“…Although statistical analysis is hardly found as a primary approach in earlier green composite research, few studies dealing with natural fibers composites have recently been designed and analysed using statistical frameworks. Prasad et al [21] conducted optimization of design parameters using ANOVA to study the performance of jute and banana fibers reinforced polymer matrix. The same method also employed by Venkateshwaran et al [22] to study the effect of layering pattern to the mechanical properties of woven jute/banana hybrid composites.…”

This paper presents a statistical aspect of experimental study on the in-plane shear behaviour of hybrid composite sandwich panel with intermediate layer. The study was aimed at providing information of how significant the contribution of intermediate layer to the in-plane shear behaviour of new developed sandwich panel. The investigation was designed as a single factor experimental design and the results were throughly analysed with statistics software; Minitab 15. The panels were tested by applying a tensile force along the diagonal of the test frame simulating pure shear using a 100 kN MTS servo-hydraulic UTM. The result shows that the incorporation of intermediate layer has sinificantly enhanced the in-plane shear behaviour of hybrid composite sandwich panel. The statistical analysis shows that the value of F0 is much higher than the value of Ftable, which has a meaning that the improvement provided by the incorporation of intermediate layer is statistically significant.
