This paper represents vibration analysis of Sisal fiber reinforced epoxy based composites using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzer. The composites were prepared by melt-mixing method, followed by compression molding process. The percentage of sisal fiber is varied from 4% to 10% in steps of 2%. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) is done to understand moisture absorption and moisture content. We also report vibrational analysis to understand the influence of fiber loading on natural frequency and damping coefficient.
The aim of this work is to study the influence of sisal fiber content on mechanical (i.e. tensile, flexural, impact, hardness and abrasion resistance) and thermal (i.e. TGA) properties of composites by varying the fiber and epoxy percentage. The composite was prepared by melt-mixing method, followed by compression molding process. The percentage of sisal fiber is varied from 4% to 10% in steps of 2%. Similarly epoxy content is varied from 96% to 90% in steps of 2%. Detailed mechanical Properties of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites have been studied. The major mechanical properties viz Tensile, Hardness, Impact, Flexural, Moisture absorption, and Moisture content are studied.
