We study the creep rupture of fiber composites subjected to uniaxial constant load within the framework of the fiber bundle model. Our numerical studies show that in the primary creep, the deformation rate exhibits a power law relaxation followed by a power law acceleration in the tertiary creep. We also investigate the behavior of the failure time and the avalanche size distribution. A good agreement is found between experiments and the model prediction, particularly for deformation powerlaws scaling in the primary-creep regime and in the tertiary-creep neighbourhood of rupture.

Banana fiber at present is a waste product of banana cultivation. Moreover, without any additional cost input.This study was carried out to investigate the effect of pseudo-stem banana fibers in the woven fabric configuration on the mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester composite. It was found that the addition of pseudo-stem banana woven fabric increased in the impact, compression, and flexural strength. The results showed that the impact strength on the pseudo-stem banana woven fabric reinforced (UP) composite is increased by 22% compared to virgin (UP), while flexural and compression strength on the composite is increased by 15% and 12% respectively.
