Estimation of tensile properties of fabricated multi layered natural jute fiber reinforced E-glass composite material

Abstract Fiber reinforced composites are replacing conventional materials for its nature of strength to weight ratio and abundantly availability mainly for different manufacturing industries for various structural and engineering application. Natural fibers such as kenaf, hemp, flax, jute, and sisal offer such benefits as reductions in weight, cost and more over recyclable. A composite is a heterogeneous material created by the synthetic assembly of two or more components constituting reinforcing matrix and a compatible matrix to obtain specific characteristics and properties. In this experimental work the composite specimen are prepared with one layer of jute fiber then one layer of E-Glass and again one layer of jute fiberis added over one another. Another specimen is prepared with the addition of one layer of E-glass then one layer of jute fiber and finally one layer of E-glass over one another. The composite specimens are prepared and tensile specimens are extracted. The tensile specimens are tested under universal testing machine. The results are obtained as 23.844 N/mm2 for 3 layered as 1 layer of E-glass and 1 layer of jute fiber and 1 layer of E-glassreinforced composite specimen and 13.006 N/mm2 for 3 layered as 1 layer of jute, 1 layer of E-glass and 1 layer of jute fiber reinforced composite specimen.
