Abstract

Natural fibers have an important role to play. Because of their constructive properties, reinforced polymer composite materials are increasing at a faster rate in the field of engineering and commercial application. Natural fibers have advantages over synthetic reinforcement composite. This experimentation was to investigate the mechanical behaviors such as tensile and flexural strength of natural fiber composite consist of jute and banana fiber as reinforcement and epoxy resin as matrix for two different fiber orientation (0°, 90°). From the investigation, it was examined that 0° orientation fiber had higher tensile and flexural strength compared to 90° orientation fiber. Also, it could be drawn from the experimentation that mechanical properties of composite material depend on orientation of fiber and the direction of application of load.
