“…The conclusions are that the hardness, tensile properties and impact strength of the juteepoxy composites increases with the increase in fiber loading and the properties like flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength is greatly influenced by the void content of the composites [4]. M.Ramesh et.al studied the strength of sisal fiber composite through experimental examination, in this study the tensile and mechanical properties of sisal-glass epoxy and jute-glass epoxy composites were determined and conclusions made here are that sisal fiber composite exhibit better tensile properties than jute fibre composites [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. According Li, et.al to modify the fiber surface structure in order to enhance the bond strength between fiber and matrix and reduce water absorption of sisal fiber chemical and thermal treatment are used [13].…”

In recent trends, replacement of complex metal extracts from naturally available fiber composites has become a keen in every industrial application. These natural composites are most likely to inherit all the properties of metals and serve their purpose a better way. The aim of this paper is to study the mechanical behavior of treated and untreated sisal-kenaf fiber composite materials. The composites are prepared from sisal fiber (33cm, 3layers), kenaf fiber (33cm,

“…Saleh et al [12] investigated the mechanical properties of composite materials by the tensile, impact, and creep tests and found that CKCF carbon composites have better mechanical properties in comparison of CRCF and CYCF carbon composites. Hariprasad et al [13] investigated the tensile and impact strengths of an alkali-treated banana-coir epoxy hybrid composite and found that tensile and impact strengths are more than untreated banana-coir epoxy hybrid composite, whereas the flexural strength of the untreated banana-coir epoxy hybrid composite was more. The content of manganese is usually limited to reduce solidification segregation and by combining with Sulphur that reduces the chance of solidification cracking.…”

The significant demands of steel in industrial applications and automotive and building industries are increasing. Thus, there is a need for the improvement of its mechanical properties by adding suitable alloy elements to them so that they have more strengthweight ratio. The objective of this research is to study the effect of adding various alloys to steel material and their effects on tensile and impact strengths, hardness, and microstructure. The tensile test was conducted on a round bar standard specimens of three kinds of steel having different compositions to investigate their mechanical properties. The results of tensile tests are given in tables, based on their stress-strain curves plotted to facilitate the design engineer to know the strength and accordingly design lightweight structures from this material. After the test, the microstructure of the fracture surface was observed using an inverted microscope. The tensile and impact strengths and hardness of carbon steel, EN 8 steel, and mild steel were evaluated and compared based on the chemical composition and microstructural observation. The experimental result showed that the increasing percentage of carbon and silicon in EN 8 steel increased its ultimate tensile and yielded strengths but reduced the percentage elongation compared to carbon steel. Similarly, less content of manganese with an increased content of nickel enhanced the impact strength of the mild steel but slightly reduced the tensile strength and hardness of mild steel compared to EN 8 steel.

“…Natural fiber composite is widely discussed in various manufacturing industries due to its impact in reducing the material cost and overall production cost, and increasing design requirements, and customer satisfaction (Adebisi, Maleque, & Rahman, 2011;Balcı & Gündoğdu, 2013;Hariprasad, Dharmalingam, & Praveen Raj, 2013;Jeffrey, Tarlochan, & Rahman, 2011). There are various applications in order to increase strength ratios and flexibility in design of products.…”

“…Approximately, 20kg of rice husk is obtained for 100kg of rice. Rice husks contain organic substances and 20% inorganic material (Hardinnawirda & SitiRabiatull Aisha, 2012;Hariprasad et al, 2013;Tashima, Silva, J.L., & M.B., 2004). The reasons for using RH in the construction industry include its high availability, low bulk density (90-150kg/m3), toughness, its abrasive nature, resistance to weathering and unique composition.…”

This paper presents a feasibility study of natural fiber-tin lead alloy composite material for engineering application. The specimen aluminum mold plate was made using a laser cutting machine. Rice husk was selected for introduction to the tin-lead alloy composite. Sand casting techniques and a hot press molding machine were used to produce the specimen. Three types of testing were used in these studies: tensile test, flexural test and hardness test. A new technique for preparing a natural fiber and metal matrix composite material using a manual mixer has been developed to stir the mixture uniformly during the solidification phase. The SiC particulate and rice husk as a natural fiber were introduced to the tin-lead alloy for engineering applications to maintain the hardness of the material. It was found that the mechanical properties of the fabricated composites increased through reinforcement with SiC and rice husk in the material matrix of Sn, particularly for flexural and hardness properties. However, the result shows the tensile strength not significantly improved as the tensile strength for the composite is lower than that for tin-lead alloy (60-40). The experiment also obtained better performance for the tensile modulus and flexural modulus. There is potential to use rice husk in Sn composite material for engineering applications.
