Manufacturing and Mechanical Properties of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Composites

Mechanical Properties of Short Banana/Sisal Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polyester Composites

Short randomly oriented banana and sisal hybrid fibre reinforced polyester composites, banana/polyester composites and sisal/polyester composites were fabricated at different fibre loading say, 0.20 to 0.50 Vf. Composites were prepared by varying the relative volume fraction of the two fibres at each fibre loading. When the fibre loading was increased; tensile, flexural and impact properties in...

Statistical Behaviour of Hemp and Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composites

The use of vegetal fibres in thermoplastic matrix is increasing mainly because of their opportunity to recycle the structures. An another advantage is to provide materials for developing countries were these fibers are abundant. Nowadays, a lot of studies are more focused on the fibers to understand their microstructure and to establish their mechanical properties [1,2]. One of the main results...

Mechanical Behaviour of Sisal Fibre Reinforced Cement Composites

Emphasis on the advancement of new materials and technology has been there for the past few decades. The global development towards using cheap and durable materials from renewable resources contributes to sustainable development. An experimental investigation of mechanical behaviour of sisal fibrereinforced concrete is reported for making a suitable building material in terms of reinforcement....

Mechanical Properties of SiC Fiber- Reinforced Reaction-Bonded Si3N4 Composites

Mechanical properties of woven glass fiber-reinforced composites.

The aim of this investigation was to measure the flexural and compressive strengths and the corresponding moduli of cylindrical composite specimens reinforced with woven glass fiber. Test specimens were made by light-curing urethane dimethacrylate oligomer with woven glass fiber of 0.18-mm standard thickness. Tests were conducted using four reinforcement methods and two specimen diameters. Flex...
