Development and Mechanical–Numerical Evaluation of Banana–Coir Fiber Reinforced Composite for Automotive ApplicationsBy Prasad Pandurang Kenjale, V.B. Ghaghare, P.B. Magade
Abstract: This study investigates the design and finite element analysis (FEA) of a composite material made from banana and coir fibres for use in automobile bumpers. The hybrid composite aims to combine the structural advantages of both fibre types, promoting eco-friendliness while enhancing performance. The research involves the preparation of banana-coir fibre particulate composites, where varying ratios of fibres are incorporated into a polymer matrix. Comprehensive mechanical testing, including compression tests, …
