Investigation on Effect of Fiber and Orientation on the Properties of Bio-Fibre Reinforced Laminates

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of fibre type and fibre orientation tensile and flexural shear properties of woven jute and bamboo fibre reinforced epoxy composites by experimentally. Laminates were fabricated by hand lay-up technique in a mould and cured under light pressure for 60 min followed by curing at room temperature for two days. Jute and bamboo laminates were made with a total of six piles by varying two orientation of fibre as to obtain four different samples. Specimen preparation and testing was carried out as per ASTM standards. The results shows the tensile strength and flexural strengths of the jute and bamboo laminates higher at 0/90? orientation and jute shows the highest in both tensile and bending strength
