Evaluating the Effect of Carbon Fillers on the Mechanical Properties of Jute and Epoxy Composite Wind Turbine BladesBy Cheruku Srinivas Rao, B. Nageswara Rao, Subhash Kamal, Abrha Gebregergs Tesfay
Abstract: Natural fibers are a sustainable substitute for synthetic materials because of many benefits, which include light weight, biodegradability, renewability, and affordability. An approach to sustainable blade design that shows promise is its use into wind turbine blades. The study focuses on jute/epoxy composite's tensile strength, impact strength, water absorption, void fraction and degradation with carbon fillers and apply in making small wind turbine blades. To fabricate the composites, two jute …
