“…It is worth mentioning that when we considered the TS and E values of jute fibers (see [ 10 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]), their values were too high in comparison to those given in Table 1 . For a better understanding, the possibility distributions of jute yarn and jute fibers are shown side-by-side in Figure 10 .…”

“…The other type of experiments performed on natural materials (including jute) has aimed to determine the properties of raw or chemically treated fibers collected from various segments of the respective plants [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38]. In particular, some studies have determined the properties of raw fiber [34,35,36].…”

“…Otherwise, the reliability of the design decision may be uncertain. Information regarding jute fibers can be extracted from the works of numerous authors (e.g., [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38]). Information on jute yarn, however, is not available.…”

“…Fidelis et al [9] examined the morphology of the natural fibers, and correlated their mechanical properties with their morphology using a Weibull distribution. Hossain et al [38] created a histogram for the morphological structures of jute fiber cross-sectional areas, and provided ranges for their material properties. In all of these studies [9,29,33,38], significant variability was observed for the respective material properties studied.…”

Products made from natural materials are eco-friendly. Therefore, it is important to supply product developers with reliable information regarding the properties of natural materials. In this study, we consider a widely used natural material called jute, which grows in Bangladesh, India, and China. We described the results of tensile tests on jute yarns, as well as the energy absorption patterns leading to yarn failure. We have also used statistical analyses and possibility distributions to quantify the uncertainty associated with the following properties of jute yarn: tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and strain to failure. The uncertainty and energy absorption patterns of jute yarns were compared with those of jute fibers. We concluded that in order to ensure the reliability and durability of a product made from jute, it is good practice to examine the material properties of yarns rather than those of fibers.

Empty fruit bunch fiber (EFB), an abundant biomass waste from the palm oil industry, is used to reinforce palm oil–based polyurethane foam (POPU), and the mechanical properties of the composite foams are also assessed. The fiber–foam interfacial adhesion is also investigated by SEM images and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The results show that the composite foam reinforced by 15–30% EFB volume fractions could be enhanced by up to 10 times in flexural strength and twice in compressive strength compared to neat POPU. The composite foams with 20% and 30% volume fraction of EFB are exploited as a core in a sandwich construction with unidirectional flax fiber–reinforced epoxy composites (as face sheets). Sandwiches using EFB/POPU composite foam cores exhibited better toughness and achieved higher flexural energy at break compared to that using a commercial poly(ethylene terephthalate (PET) foam core. Furthermore, the failure mechanisms occurred under a combination of flexural and shear deformation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 43977.
