Bending Mechanical Behavior of Epoxy Matrix Reinforced with Buriti Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

Environmentally correct composites, made from natural fibers, are among the most investigated and applied today. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with continuous buriti fiber, through bending tensile tests was investigated. Specimens containing 0, 10, 20 and 30% in volume of buriti fiber were aligned along the entire length of a mold to create plates of these composites. The plates were cut following the ASTM standard to obtained bending test specimens. The test was conducted in an Instron Machine and the fractured specimens were analyzed by SEM. The results showed an increase in the materials flexural properties with the increase in volume fraction of buriti fiber.
