Alternative material

The study of fracture and Mechanical behaviours of natural composites is very essential for different application. The present project involves the mechanical and fracture behaviour of Banana fibre reinforced epoxy composites with different fibre orientations. These composites are mostly used in various applications of automobile parts, door panels, dashboards. The fibers from the natural sources provide indisputable advantages over synthetic reinforcement materials such as low cost, low density, non-toxicity, comparable strength, and minimum waste disposal problems. The main objective of the present project work has to develop the medium performance composites with Banana fibre with epoxy composites which has to improve the existing composites for automobile parts. ¿ To prepare the banana fibre reinforced epoxy composites. ¿ To prepare the composite with different layer arrangements of fibres in mats. ¿ To analyze the mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced epoxy composites at different dimensions of fibre mats. ¿ To analyze the fracture behaviour of composites by layering fibres in different orientations during composite preparation.
