Abstract:

In last few years, many new composites is being developed day by day because of their high specific mechanical strength. In this work, analysis of mechanical behavior of sisal, jute and coir fiber reinforced epoxy (LY551) composite was studied. Composite laminates by mixing sisal, jute and coir fiber and epoxy with proper curing agents by compression molding method. This was placed on the matched plate mold and pressed at 1500PSI for 24 hours at 1000C temperature. The sisal, jute and flax fiber reinforced epoxy Resin Composites manufactured at various ratios such as (15:15:5, 20:10:5& 25:5:5 (gm.)). The composite proportion ratio between fiber and resin was taken as (35:65). We would like to analyze and check the Mechanical Properties of Sisal Jute and Coir Fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites by testing the Tensile Strength, Impact and Water Absorption capacity.
