Experimental and numerical models to study the creep behavior of the unidirectional Alfa fiber composite strength by the photoelasticity method

Finite Element Study on Coconut Inflorescence Stem Fiber Composite Panels Subjected to Static Loading

“…Such treatment involves the removal of impurities and contaminants from the fibers, leading to improvements in their quality. Researchers [5][6][7][8] have demonstrated that alkali treatment, typically employing a 5-10% NaOH solution, is highly effective for fibers like sisal, banana, areca nut husk, and coconut. A. Widnyana et al conducted a study on coconut fibers treated with a 6% NaOH solution, revealing a tensile strength of 130.9 MPa in single-fiber tensile tests, while composite panels made from coconut fibers achieved 24.5 MPa.…”
