“…Data are synthetized in Table 2. For the unaged specimens, the mean values of the elastic modulus E 1 , tensile strength and strain at failure, respectively 23.7 GPa, 288 MPa and 1.6%, are in agreement with the data from literature [2,6,7], in particular when considering the fibre volume fraction (37%). The ageing induces a significant decrease in the initial stiffness of the specimens (E 1 ) approximately -64% and -25% for the aged-saturated and aged-dried specimens.…”

“…Anyway, promising progress has been recently achieved, in particular in the development of plant-based preforms with low areal weight and perfectly aligned fibres [4] and their composites. For some of them, based on flax, hemp and sisal fibres mainly, the reached static and fatigue mechanical performances pave the way for load-bearing applications [5][6][7][8][9]. The potential of PFCs for this type of structural application is also increasingly demonstrated at the scale of prototypes such as wind turbine [10] and boats [11] for examples.…”

Although the research and development in plant fibre composites is growing rapidly, these materials still require specific considerations before being adopted by industry in structural applications. One of the main issue is related to their durability. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of hydrothermal ageing on the fatigue behaviour of an unidirectional flax-epoxy laminated composite by implementing the fatigue tests in a water bath. Results show that while the quasi-static strength and rigidity are significantly affected by the ageing, the fatigue strength is however improved. The fatigue strength coefficient is more than two times lower after ageing, indicating a lower decrease of the maximum stress with the increasing number of cycles. After ageing, the maximum stress level for an expected lifetime of 5.3 10 6 cycles is approximately 90 MPa, which is comparable to the one of unaged specimens. It is also pointed out that the remaining quasi-static tensile properties and behaviour of the aged specimen are not significantly affected after 1.3 10 6 cycles at a stress level of 90 MPa.

“…Taking into account the particular "horseshoe" shape of the crosssection of the agave fibers (see Fig. 2b), the area A f of each tested fiber has been determined by the approach reported in [52], i.e. by the double measurement (D 1 and D 2 ) of the fiber thickness and the calculation of the area through the following expression (Eq.…”

Use of natural fibres is growing in day to day life. Sisal fibre is one of those fibres. Sisal fibre is used to increase the strength of any component. The actual two-wheeler foot rest study is carried out. The sisal fibre foot rest is fabricated in order to replace the actual aluminium foot rest and then the study is carried out between the original and sisal fibre model of foot rest. The main aim of project is to optimize footrest of two-wheeler using natural fibre composite. The foot rest is composed of sisal fibre. The 3D model is drawn with the help of CATIA V5 software. The analysis is done by using ANSYS 19.2 software. Three different orientations of sisal fibre are considered for analysis. The three-point bending experimental testing is done with the help of Universal Testing Machine. The simulation and experimental results are compared. From experimentation peak load for aluminium is 640N and for sisal fibre is 1820N this shows that strength of the footrest is increased. The weight of the aluminium and sisal fibre is 305.8 g and 136.5 g respectively. From this it can be seen that 55% weight reduction is done. Amongst three orientations of sisal fibre sample 1 i.e., sisal fire footrest with orientation 0°-0°-0°-0°-0°-0°-0°-0° gives lesser deformation compared to other two samples which has orientation as 0°-45°-0°-45°-0°-45°-0°-45° and 0°-90°-0°-90°-0°-90°-0°-90°. So, it can be concluded that sample1 of sisal fibre footrest can be used as a replacement of aluminium.
