Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Regular and Engineered Fiber Built up Polymer Composites

Abstract:

Standard fibers have attracted the attentiveness of technocrats, specialists, experts, and researchers throughout the globe as elective support for fiber built up polymer composites, due to their predominant properties like high explicit strength, low weight, minimal expense, truly incredible mechanical properties, non-grating, eco-accommodating, and bio-degradable qualities. Here of view, a short survey has been completed to utilize normal strands, (for example, jute, Kenaf, pineapple, sisal, and so forth) bounteously accessible in India. Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers are blending in with normal filaments to build Engineering and Technology applications. This paper presents an examination of the mechanical characteristics of regular fibers and hybrid fibers supported by polymer composites. Seven Sample composite covers of the various mix without alkali treatment has been prepared. The physical, Mechanical properties need to reveal for the better composition of the reinforced elements as per ASTM standard. The specimen has been prepared as per ASTM Standard for Mechanical Characterization. The tensile strength of the hybrid specimen shows maximum ultimate tensile strength 97.24Mpa with yield tensile strength is 67.11Mpa and Young’s Modulus 6673.64Mpa at maximum force of 6.56 KN. This is the highest among all configurations. From the consolidated result of flexural strength of all seven combinations, it is come to notice that, the flexural strength of the hybrid specimen composite shows maximum flexural strength 207.84 MPa. It is observed that the impact strength of the hybrid material is 42% more than Kenaf and E-glass material combination and 54% more than the Jute and E-glass material combination.
