Mechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Woven Banana/Epoxy Composite

Mechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Woven Banana/Epoxy Composite In this work, three types of woven (Plain, twill and Basket) composites are made of banana fibers/epoxy resin using hand-layup method. Mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact) of three types of woven composites are compared to evaluate the effect of weaving architecture on the properties. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out to analyse the visco-elastic behavior of the composite. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out in the temperature range of 40–140 °C at 0.1,1,10 Hz frequencies. Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis is carried out to investigate the fracture behaviour of the composite. From the investigation it is found that plain type of woven composite has better mechanical and dynamic mechanical behaviour. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Polymers and the Environment Springer Journals

Abstract

In this work, three types of woven (Plain, twill and Basket) composites are made of banana fibers/epoxy resin using hand-layup method. Mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact) of three types of woven composites are compared to evaluate the effect of weaving architecture on the properties. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out to analyse the visco-elastic behavior of the composite. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out in the temperature range of 40–140 °C at 0.1,1,10 Hz frequencies. Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis is carried out to investigate the fracture behaviour of the composite. From the investigation it is found that plain type of woven composite has better mechanical and dynamic mechanical behaviour.
