Estimation of the Elastic Modulus and Moisture Absorption of Sisal Fibre

Abstract:

Microstructures of sisal fibres were revealed optically. Statistics on dimensional parameters for sisal fibres were used to establish a geometrical model in order to estimate the elastic modulus and moisture absorption capability of sisal fibres. The single fibre tensile test was conducted on the sisal. The predicted longitudinal modulus and water absorption was in good agreement with experimental results. It was found that the lumen ratio is a significant factor in determine the mechanical properties of the natural fibre.
