Comparative Study of Mechanical Properties of Natural Fibers

Here, various mechanical properties for composites were studied, and comparison between different mechanical properties namely theoretical density, actual density, tensile strength and flexural strength of two distinctive natural fibers is done. These natural fibers are made of jute and Luffa-glass fibers reinforced with epoxy hybrid composites. Twelve different types of laminates have been used for this purpose. The flexural properties of the jute glass and luffa-glass fibers reinforced epoxy hybrid composites are superior for stacking series of GJGJ for jute glass 5% fly ash and jute glass 5% alumina and GLGL for luffa glass. The values of tensile properties are better for GJJG for jute glass 5% fly ash and jute glass 5% alumina and GLLG for luffa glass.
