Abstract:This paper aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties in tensile testing, of polyester composites reinforced by short fibers of Munguba (Pseudobombax Munguba) and Jitó fibers (Guarea guidonia) arranged randomly. The method used was qualitative and quantitative, comparing parameters obtained in tensile mechanical tests of and appearance of the fracture for both types of composites investigated. The results showed that for the investigated composites, the tensile strength increased respectively to the length of… Show more
