Comparative analysis of the mechanical and thermal properties of polyester hybrid composites reinforced by jute and glass fiber

This work describes the study to investigate and compare the mechanical and thermal properties of raw jute and glass fiber reinforced polyester hybrid composites. To improve the mechanical properties, jute fiber was hybridized with glass fiber. Polyester resin, jute and glass fibers were laminated in three weight ratios(77/23/0, 68/25/7 and 56/21/23) respectively to form composites. The tensile...

Finite element modeling of erosive wear

Material damage caused by the attack of particles entrained in a fluid system impacting a surface at high speed is called ‘Erosion’. Erosion is a phenomenon that takes place in several engineering applications. It also can be used in several manufacturing process such as abrasive waterjet machining. Erosion is a complex process dependent on particle speed, size, angle of attack as well as the b...

Tensile and Flexural Analysis of a Hybrid Bamboo/Jute Fiber-reinforced Composite with Polyester Matrix as a Sustainable Green Material for Wind Turbine Blades

Recently, there has been a fast growth in research and investigation in the natural fibre composite due to the advantages of these materials, such us low environmental impact, low cost and good mechanical properties compared to synthetic fibre composites. Much effort has gone into increasing the mechanical performance and applications of natural fibes. This paper examines the mechanical propert...

Mechanical Properties of Unsaturated Polyester Resin

Mechanical behaviour of unsaturated polyester resin used for the composite materials has been studied to determine various important parameters, such as tensile and compressive, single edge-notch tensile fracture toughness, flexural properties and fracture energy. Fracture toughness, KIC, and fracture energy, GIC, obtained for the polyester resin lie between the typical values for epoxy resins ...
