Experimental Analysis of Delamination Failure in Jute-Coir Fiber Reinforced Composites
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In industry, the use of composites in the manufacturing sector plays a very important role. Natural fibers are viable to substitute for the synthetic fiber and which are abundant. In this project, a composite was made using jute-Coir fibers as reinforcement in the epoxy resin. The composites are manufactured for both treated and untreated fibers at 25% and 30% fiber content. Jute-coir fibers were treated with 4% NaOH solution at room temperature. This project mainly focuses on delamination failure of hybrid composites during the drilling process. Drilling process was conducted at various speed levels and feed rate as its input parameter and delamination failure as its response. The response was optimized using Taguchi method and ANOVA to reduce the delamination factor in the jute-coir reinforced composite
