  By V. Jeyabalaji, A. Kumaresan, P. Tharcis, A.N. Balaji, M. Ananda Kumar

  Abstract: The mechanical characteristics of Acalypha Indica root fibre reinforced epoxy resin composites, including tensile strength, tensile modulus, percentage of elongation, flexural strength, and impact strength, were studied. Composites were fabricated using epoxy glue and randomly oriented fibres of 3 mm length in varying weight ratios of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The hand layup method was followed by compression moulding to construct the composites. The study aimed to determine the …
