EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF TENSILE AND IMPACT BEHAVIOUR OF HEMP FLAX HYBRID COMPOSITE
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Developments in Engineering and Technology urging the need to identify and improve a wide variety of materials using the natural fiber. Composite plays a vital role in manufacturing and defense industries. In this work, Natural fiber, namely Hemp and flax are used as reinforcement along with epoxy resins to enhance Mechanical properties. These fibers are used because of easy extraction methods and more economical. In this research work, hemp and flax composites are prepared using hand lay-up method as mono, and hybrid composites. Various mechanical tests have been carried out to determine the mechanical characteristic of the composite laminate and the results are compared.
