Abstract - The main objective of this project is to
fruits and vegetables that are used as sources. Silk, wool, and mohair are all derived from animal sources. Sources derived from minerals, such as asbestos and metal fibres. Natural fibre is currently serving as one of the plentiful available materials for use in the reinforcement phase, and it possesses a wide range of qualities.
compare and experiment the investigation of E-glass and Sglass (reinforced with areca and banana). In this research, fiber reinforced polymer was prepared with E-glass and Sglass (reinforced with areca and banana) fiber thickness 30mm. The resins used in this study are epoxy. The resins were synthesized at 10:1 fiber-resin weight percentages. The prepared composites were tested under ASTM standards to study the mechanical properties of the FRP composites such as Tensile strength, Flexural strength and Impact strength.
During the course of this research, a bidirectional woven areca fibre mat was utilised on the face side of the laminate, while a bidirectional woven banana fibre mat was utilised as the core material for sandwich composites.
Key Words: High Strength, Cost reduction, Easy to make
With growing environmental awareness, new rules and legislations scientists and engineers are forced to seek new materials which are more eco-friendly in nature. Hence, the attention of the research community is focused toward finding an eco-friendly material which can give high performance at affordable costs. The keywords with which the eco-friendly materials focused are “biodegradable,” “recyclable,” “renewable” and “sustainable”. Natural fiber composites are one such kind of materials. The usage of natural fibers in the composites is well-known, because of its inherited qualities such as lignocelluloses, renewable, and biodegradability.
1. INTRODUCTION In the realm of composites, innovations are being carried out to improve the trends that are already there in order to achieve better results and use these results in a manner that is more effective. The use of composites as a substitute for traditional construction materials such as plastic, steel, aluminium, concrete, and so on is becoming increasingly common. They are portable, prefabricated, and utilized for the external panels and modular construction of buildings. Shuttering supports, ergonomics, unique architectural features that lend an aesthetic look, and other applications make use of it.
However, when compared to studies on other natural fibre reinforced composites, relatively little effort and attention has been directed toward the areca fibre and its reinforced composites, and the amount of literature that has been published on the subject is likewise very limited.
In spite of its extended life, low maintenance requirements, fire retardant qualities, and other benefits, its advantages include corrosion resistance and light weight, both of which have proven to be attractive for a variety of low stress applications. Although significant headway has been made toward achieving this goal, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer, sometimes known as FRP, in structural applications is not universally recognised. In order to achieve high strength, extended duration, and other desirable features, composite-based train panels and automotive body parts are currently in the process of being developed. In composites, the matrix and the reinforcements are both blended with different types of components to generate a material with a wide range of qualities. Reinforcement can be achieved through the utilisation of fibres, either synthetic or natural, with variable weight compositions and orientations.
2.Methodology The methodology includes the process sequentially carried out; this project includes the process of composite laminate preparation and Conduct the mechanical tests like tensile, compression and Impact.
