Composites are a combination of two or more different materials with different mechanical properties. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the angle orientation of the Boehmeria Nivea fiber-reinforced composite woven on the physical and mechanical properties. Boehmeria Nivea fiber is soaked in an alkaline solution and made into ropes with a diameter of 2-3 mm and then woven with angle orientations of 0o/15o, 0o/30o, 0o/45o and 0o/90o. The composite manufacturing process uses the press molding method. The tests in this study consisted of a tensile test with the ASTM D3039 standard, a flexural test with the ISO 178 standard and a density test with the ASTM C271 standard. Tensile test results show that the highest tensile strength occurs at 0°/15° webbing angle orientation, which is 13.77 Mpa. While the highest bending test results occur at the orientation of the 0°/15° webbing angle, which is 60.52 MPa. Tensile and flexural strength increases with smaller webbing angle orientation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
