Effect of Abrasive Water Jet Machining Parameters—An Experimental Investigation
Abstract: Machining studies on the fiber reinforced polymer composites is vital requirement for the composites application in different fields. Particularly advanced machining techniques like abrasive water jet machining can be machined with higher accuracy and distortion free composites. In this work aims to study the abrasive machining parameters on the basalt fiber polymer composites. The woven basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites were prepared using hand layup techniques. The machining effect of …

Influence of Concentration Variation of Chemical Pre Treatments on Tensile Properties of Coir Fibre Reinforced Composites
Abstract: Composite material consisting randomly oriented coir fibres and epoxy resin have been studied. This study tends to analyze the tensile properties of coir fibre (10mm length) reinforced with epoxy resin by treating with Na0H and KMn04 of different concentrations. Fibers are bonded together with epoxy resin by hand layup process and cured at room temperature for 24 hours to form composite. Different tensile properties of composite were investigated in accordance …

Mechanical Behaviour of Natural Reinforced Polymer Composites with Hybrid Additives
Abstract: The implementation of natural fibres is the fast approaching ‘green’ economy based materials that are used in polymer matrix composites that are intended to replace the conventional synthetic polymer composites. Being plenteous fundamentally, natural fibres have been existed the primary form of natural resources for centuries. Considering that mechanical properties of composites are strongly influenced by the quality of the fibre/matrix interface and with eco-friendly properties like excellent energy absorption, …

Development of Epoxy Based Hybrid Composite Reinforced with Jute and Glass-fiber and Effect of Silicon Carbide additive on it’s Mechanical Properties
Abstract: In this project, an effort is made to compare the improvement of the matrix material properties because of the presence of the fillers and additives. Initially, hand lay-up process was carried out in a mold of known dimensions to layup jute fibers of varying weight percentages in the epoxy matrix. Another composite with glass fibers of similar weight percentages to that of jute were laid up in epoxy matrix in …
