Abstract
Abstract The main aim of the present experimental investigation is to evaluate mechanical properties of natural fibre ridge gourd with polymers laminates prepared with different combinations of fiber and resin. Laminates were fabricated by hand layup method. The impregnation of laminates is done by epoxy resin and polyester resin as matrix material. The ridge gourd is cheaper, biodegradable and Eco Friendly and it is located in all the areas and it can be available during all the seasons. With various structures of patterns materials characteristics is observed that with different combinations glass, ceramic fibers with ridge gourd with epoxy resin and polyester resin laminates increases its mechanical properties. In tensile strength ceramic fiber with epoxy resin and fiber mat shows increase strength such as 140.68 MPa and 77.3 in hardness strength. Likewise compressive strength in natural fiber with ridge guard shows increased strength.
