Abstract

This study presents the low-velocity impact behavior of natural fiber-reinforced green composites. The green composite plate was composed of bamboo fiber and polylactic acid (PLA). The green composite plate of 4 mm in thickness was modeled considering unidirectional bamboo fiber. A hemispherical steel indenter of 16 mm in diameter was used to study the impact behavior of green composites using ABAQUS 6.14. The analysis was performed at impact velocities of 2, 2.54, 3.08, and 3.556 m/s by varying the fiber weight percentage to 10, 20, and 30% in the bamboo/PLA green composites. The simulated results were compared with the findings reported in previous studies.
