Pineapple Leaves Fibers Composite Mechanical Properties
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
This research was conducted to identify the mechanical properties of pineapple leaves fibers composites. Pineapple leaves fibers composites use polyester resin as the matrix. Pineapple leaves that was used in this research was fibers obtained from harvested pineapple leaves. The samples were made with two methods, blending and rubbing methods and by varying the concentration of fibre used (10 %,20%,30%,40% and 50%). From the results of test conducted, there were differences in mechanical properties of pineapples leaves fibre composite material on tensile test and bending test performed. From the tensile test performed, it is found that the best Longitudinal Tensile Strength 25,31 Mpa is found at sample with 30% Blended Fiber and 70% matrix, and the highest Longitudinal Tensile Strain 0,0349 is reached by the sample with 20% rubbed fiber and 80% matrix and the biggest Longitudinal Modulus of Elasticity 2673,4 Mpa is obtained from the sample with 10% blended fiber and 90% matrix. While from the bending test performed, it is known that the highest Transverse Tensile Strength 71,55 Mpa is obtained from the sample with 30% blended fiber and 70% matrix, and the biggest Transverse Tensile Strain 0,0178 is found at sample with 30% rubbed fiber and 70% matrix, the highest Shear Strength 5,2393 Mpa is found at sample with 30% rubbed fiber and 70% matrix and the biggest Transverse Modulus of Elasticity 8447,1 Mpa is obtained from sample with 30% blended fiber and 70% matrix.
