Abstract
Natural fibers are plentiful and offer a significant cost savings over fully manufactured composite materials. The usage of natural fibres is widespread in many technological applications requiring great strength and stiffness with little weight. Banana fibre has high mechanical properties and minimal deformation during testing. Comparison of glass fiber and banana fiber with different fibre volume fraction to get the best fibre. In this work, both fibres are prepared using hand lay-up method. The impact of fibre volume fraction on composite fracture toughness and tensile strength is studied. Comparing fracture toughness will help to choose the best composite material for different automotive applications.
