India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract – Composite material is one of the most emerging materials of modern era as it provides light weight, high strength
to weight ratio, electrical insulation etc. and Hybrid composites have vast area of application due to its better mechanical properties and economically point of view. In today’s scenario composite material has competition with its own compatibilities. Aviation industries are most benefitted from composite materials. Hybrid composite materials such as carbon-glass fiber, agamid etc. are used in the fabrication of air craft wings, nose and some other parts that full fill their desired demands. Some other hybrid composites of baggage, cellulose fiber particles, cellulose jute fiber ash, cellulose jute fiber powder, barley husk etc. are most successfully used in automobile industry, furniture industry, and electronic device industry and in dentistry for filling. It is very difficult to fabricate a hybrid composite that provides superior properties over existing composites. Thus the measurement of mechanical properties of fabricated composite material is studied to understand the behavior of composite of material. In the present work, a hybrid composite of cellulose jute fiber powder and graphite-fiber has been fabricated. For binding cellulose jute powder and graphite-fiber epoxy resin is used. For fabrication hand lay-up method was used and two categories were decided one for 30gm CSP (cellulose jute powder) and another for 45gm CSP. The next step a number of samples were taken from these two categories. Then hardness testing, tensile testing, impact testing and bending test were performed on these selected samples and behavior of 30gm CSP and 45gm CSP were studied. Key Words: Then hardness testing, Tensile Testing, Impact Testing and Bending test were performed on these selected samples and behavior of 30gm CSP and 45gm CSP were studied.
1. INTRODUCTION In today’s industrialization composite materials are used in various applications like interiors of vehicles, machine parts, aerospace industry, furniture industry, railways, building constructions, ceilings and panels, automobiles, medical industry etc. due there surprising property of light weight, cost effective, easy manufacturing, bio-degradable and environment eco- friendly materials. Composites have the continuous phase with one or more discontinuous phase. The reinforcement material is called discontinuous phase and the continuous phase is known as matrix. Discontinuous phase is stronger than continuous phase. Composite displays the properties of their constituent materials. The size, shape and material reinforcement distribution affect the composite properties. The size, shape and material reinforcement distribution affect the composite properties. Fiber reinforced and natural fillers composite have high qualities and wide area of application in various fields of technical sector [1]. In the thermoplastic like armed and glass fiber conventional synthetic fibers are also used for reinforcement. Due to properties like low density, high thermal insulation, better mechanical properties, environment friendly, disposable, minimal tool wear, easy availability and low price synthetics fibers are used. Synthetic fibers are available in different forms like threads, woven form, wool form, strands etc. 1.2 Definition of Composite Two or more natural or artificial materials are combined to make a composite. Thus their constituent’s useful properties are maximized and their weaknesses are minimized. Most widely used composite is graphite-fibers reinforced plastic (GRP) that combines with graphite fibers with plastic to make a composite material that is tough but not brittle. Composite are best alternatives of metals as they provide higher strength in lighter weight.
