    Bending and Single Edge Notch Bending Test (SENB) Investigation of Natural Fiber- Reinforced Epoxy Composites using Machine Learning

    By Santhosha M., Lokesh K.S., Manjunatha G M, Sandhya D S, Venkatesh K.C.

    Abstract: The present study aims to determine the behavior of hemp fiber-reinforced epoxy composites in terms of bending behavior and fracture toughness under bending load resembles the substitutive behavior of existing synthetic composites. The fabrication was carried out by hand lay-up assembly of hemp fiber with Lapox-12 epoxy resin volume fraction of 60:40 fiber: matrix volume. Flexural testing revealed an average strength of 93.5 ± 2.8 MPa and SENB testing revealed …

    Experimental and Polynomial Regression Modelling of Tensile Characteristics of Hybrid Jute/Hemp Fiber Composites

    By Manjunatha G.M., Lokesh K S, Santhosha M., Udaya Devadiga, Sandhya D S

    Abstract: The present study aims to develop hybrid jute-hemp fiber/epoxy composites by the hand lay-up process with 60% of fiber reinforcement and 40 % of matrix ratio. To measure the change of tensile properties, prepared hybrid composites were tested for normal tensile strength and edge notch tensile (ENT) test as per the ASTM standards. Findings show that, developed composites with reported tensile strength followed by comparing it with fracture toughness. Experimentally, …
