Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Burmese Silk Orchid and Glass Fibers Composite Material
Journal Title: STAR Journal - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The mechanical properties of vinyl ester matrix composites reinforced with hybrid burmese silk orchid– glass fibres were evaluated. There are indications that the incorporation of both fibres into a single matrix which is vinyl ester resin will stabilize mechanical properties and lowering manufacturing costs. In this research the tensile strength and flexural strength were studied for composite material reinforced with hybrid fibres for burmese silk orchid and glass fibre. These fibres were mixed with vinyl ester resin in reinforcement percentage (5%) with different length of burmese silk orchid fibre (20mm, 30mm, 40mm) and the effect on the above mechanical properties will be study. It has shown an improvement in these mechanical properties after reinforcement by fibres the value of mechanical properties will increase with increasing percentage of reinforcement.
