Abstract:

The aim of this study of mechanical behavior of these composites under tensile and impact loading and their applicability to real applications is the goal. Group 1 The ultimate tensile strength of Ficus religiosa stem fiber is 11.939[N/mm²]. Group 2 ultimate strength of sisal fiber is 9.006 [N/mm²]. As indicated by the results, sisal fibers significantly enhanced the impact resistance and tensile strength of composite materials, therefore they are viable to apply in various engineering application. displayed promise as an inherent composite with limited mechanical potential, as indicated by its good tensile and impact strength.
