Abstract

This abstract describes an undergraduate project that studied the mechanical properties of hybrid composites made from pineapple leaf fiber, banana leaf fiber, and polyester resin. The fibers were fabricated into laminated composites using hand layup and cured under pressure. Tensile and compression tests were performed on the specimens according to ASTM standards to determine the mechanical properties. The tensile strengths obtained were between 60-55.3 MPa and compression strengths were between 14-24 MPa. The author now wishes to continue this research for a master's degree in engineering.

Abstract for MSc in Engineering

Following is an abstract of my bachelors degree project titled “Experimental Study on Mechanical


Properties Of Pineapple and Banana Leaf Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Composites”

The aim of the research was to study the mechanical properties of hybrid reinforced fibre.For the study of
properties we use pineapple and banana fibre with polyester resin.Mechanical properties such as tensile
and compression test are determined.The test is done after the fabrication of fibre ie (pineapple,banana) to
a hybrid fibre composite which will be in a laminated form which is done with the help of the polyester
resin and hardner.Fabrication is done by simple hand lay up technique in a mould which is cured under
pressure for a day at room temperature.All the laminates are made by layering up pineapple and banana
fibers.Specimen preperation and testing is done according to the ASTM standards.The ASTM standard
used is D3039 for tensile , D3410 for compression .The tensile strength of the specimens are 60,38,62.5
and 55.3.Compression strength of the specimens are 14MPa,17MPa and 24MPa.

Keywords: Polyester resin, Hand lay up, Mechanical properties, Pineapple leaf fiber, Banana leaf fiber.

I would like continue the work for the above topic for my post graduate studies in engineering.
