Experimental investigation of polymer matrix composite characterization using jute & carbon fiber in helmet application

2021 
The manufacturing industry has become one of the largest polymer matrix composite (PMC) customers, which comes from cost savings and lightweight. In the design of cars, PMCs' structures are very important in fulfilling some of their most pressing needs, which include weight loss for vehicles. The compounds are suitable for hazardous environments, such as chemical plants and paper converting, oil and gas refineries and water treatment plants. Typical applications include fans, tanks, pipes, hoods, pumps and cabinets. A polymer composite is a multi-stage component in which reinforcement is filled with a polymer matrix, resulting in synergistic mechanical structures that cannot be achieved individually. So, our research is based on the weight reduced to the product of the helmet. First, plate making in six different combinations with the help of natural fiber (jute) and synthetic fiber (carbon) material is used and resin (epoxy & vinyl-ester). The study evaluates the tensile, compression, flexural and impact strength and selects the better combination of plate material. Further, to create the helmet design and analysis established on the structural oriented with Ansys software's help.
