EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF REINFORCED JUTE AND EUCALYPTUS FIBER

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The main aim of our investigation study is to replaces conventional material like wood, metal ,etc.into composites. Most of these composites use synthetic fiber such as carbon, kevlar whose synthesis is rather complex, costly and requires specific processes .Natural fibers are generally low cost ,easily available and ecofriendly. In our project we are using jute mat as a major composite material. In order to increase its strength additionally , we are extracting the new fiber from the bark of the eucalyptus tree, due to its light weight ,high strength, which could be easily procured and also the extraction of the fiber, as opposed to the synthetic fibers is relatively simpler. To perform flexural, tensile, impact and compression test to find the strength of our reinforced composites. The flexural test, tensile test ,impact test ,compressive test involve measuring the maximum force the reinforced composites can withstand . These test will give the clear evidence of how the composites will prove to be advantageous under various circumstances .
