COMPARATIVE AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF GLASS FIBER REINFORCED WITH JUTE AND SILICON CARBIDE P. Balaji1, Patrick joseph J 2, Nirmal. M 3, Rajakumar. A4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract - Jute
orthotropic, so it can be characterized by nine independent elastic constants: three Young’s moduli along each material axis, three Poisson’s ratio for each plane and three shear moduli for each plane. Once the properties for each lamina are obtained, properties of a laminate, made of those laminae can be calculated using those individual properties.
fiber reinforced with Sic and Jute as natural fiberreinforced polymer composites and glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are the primary goals of this project. In order to create ahybrid composite, 10 percent of Silicon Carbide powder is added. Researchers looked into theeffects of various mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compression strength, and impact strength under various loading conditions. Hand lay-up process fabrication results in better performance of Natural fiber reinforcement with GF, according to the comparative experimentation. Silicon carbide is an excellent material for absorbing and carrying heavy loads.
In the highly competitive airline market, using composites is moreefficient. Though the material cost may be higher, the reduction in the number of parts in an assembly and the savings in the fuel cost makes more profit. It also lowers the overall mass of the aircraft without reducing the strength and stiffness of its components.
Key Words: High Strength, Cost reduction, Easy to make
2. Methodology
1. Introduction
The specimens were prepared with the glass fiber epoxy laminates with Jute and Silicon Carbide powder accordingto the ASTM standard. The specimens were undergoing for mechanical testing by Universal testing machine and Impact testing machine. These results were compared with conventional GFRP composite.
Basic requirements for thebetter performance efficiency of anaircraft are high strength, high stiffness and low weight. The conventional materials such as metals and alloys could satisfy these requirements only to a certain extent. This led to the need for developing new materials that can whose properties were superior to conventional metals and alloys, were developed.
3. Laminate Materials Methods:
A composite is a structural material which consists of two or more constituents combined at a macroscopic level. The constituents of a composite material are a continuous phase called matrix and a discontinuous phase called reinforcement.
This chapter describes the materials and methods used for the processing of the composites under this investigation.It presents the details of the characterization and tests which the composite samples are subjected to.

The building block of a laminate is a single lamina. Therefore, the mechanical analysis of a lamina precedes that of a laminate. A lamina is an anisotropic and non- homogeneous material. But for approximate macro- mechanical analysis, a lamina is assumed to be homogeneous where the calculation of the average properties are based on individual mechanical properties of fiber and matrix,as well as content, packing geometry and shape of fibers. The lamina is considered as
