A Comparative Analysis of a Blend of Natural Jute and Glass Fibers with Synthetic Glass FibersComposites as Car Bumper Materials
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Bumper is one of the main parts which are used as protection for passengers from front and rear collision. The aim of this study was to analyze and study the structure and material employed for car bumper by one of the car manufacturers. In this study, the most important variables like material structures,hardness and impact conditions were studied for analysis of the bumper beam in order to improve the crashworthiness during collision.The composite bumper samples of HYBRID Cs, PNFC, and GF-C were produced and their mechanical properties were investigated andcompared. The HYBRID Cs(combination of jute and glass fibers) was found to exhibit superior hardness and impact property associated to the commercial GF-C material.Hence, it is obvious that the natural jute fiber composites can undeniably replace the commercial GF-C for automotive components.
