Abstract

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Sisal /Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

Highlights

  • Composites are the amalgamation of two or more materials which are different in form and chemical constituents

  • Composite materials can be classified based on the geometry of reinforcing materials which are responsible for the performance of the composites

  • In the present scenario due growing interest on the natural fibers, these fibers are extensively used in the development of composite materials for industrial applications and fundamental research

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Composites are the amalgamation of two or more materials which are different in form and chemical constituents These are gradually gaining more significance as structural materials in the preset day engineering design and development activity; this is because they offer very attractive physical-mechanical properties such as high strength to weight ratio, higher thermal, corrosive and wear resistance. These materials have the potential to replace the conventional materials to manufacture automobile, aircraft, marine components, wind turbine blades, heat insulators, sporting equipment etc. Natural fibers are drawn from various parts of the plants such as bast or stem, leaf, seed, fruit, wood and grass. In the present research attempts are made to develop sisal/glass reinforced with epoxy resin to study the mechanical properties
