The development of high-performance engineering materials made from natural resources is rising worldwide, because of the renewable and environmental problems. Among various type of natural fibers, jute fibers have been widely exploited over the past few years. This paper presents the evaluation of elastic modulus of jute/polypropylene (PP) composites using mathematical modelling. Composite models namely Rule of mixtures (ROM), Inverse Rule of Mixtures (IROM), Halpin-Tsai (HT) and Bowyer-Bader (BB) will be employed to confirm the experimental data from the available literature. The effect of the fiber loading, fiber size, and fiber orientation will also be discussed within the scope of the studied models.
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.
