Abstract
The outcome of adding together naturally available reinforcement material to the natural fiber epoxy composite was examined experimentally. Composites mates were manufactured with the help of a conventional hand-layup method. All composites are prepared with constant weight fraction (30%) of banana fiber with dissimilar weight fraction of (0, 2, 4, 6%) groundnut shell powder is added to the epoxy composite. As per the ASTM standards, test specimens were cut away from the composite mate using the water jet machining process. Tension, compression, hardness, impact, flexural and water absorption tests were conducted according to ASTM standards, to discover the mechanical behavior of the composites. Experimental results represent that mechanical properties are considerably enhanced by means of the adding up of groundnut shell powder to the epoxy-based banana fiber composite.
