Abstract
Different analytical models are often used for predicting theelastic properties of the synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites. However, the prediction of the elastic properties of the natural fiber reinforced compositeshasn’t been studied to a required extent. In this study, the application of different mathematical and analyticalmodels such as the rule of mixtures, inverse rule of mixtures and Chamis model...etc., that are present for predicting the mechanical properties of thefiber–polymer composite material was presented. Apineapple fiber reinforcedepoxy composite was prepared and experimental analysis was performed to predict the mechanical properties.Then acomparison was made between the resultsof the experiment and existing mechanical models and finite element analysis to find which theory is good at predicting the properties of the natural fiber reinforced composite materials.
