  Development and Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Bio-Degradable Grass Fiber Composite Reinforced with Shrimp Shell Powder for Sustainable Applications

  By Ch. Tirumala Rao, Baviri. Praveen Kumar, Md. Touseef Ahamad, T. Suseela, Smt K. Sree Devi, P. Narendra Mohan

  Abstract: Shrimp, a significant area of the seafood industry in terms of production, is exceeded by only prawn and salmon in terms of volume; its global annual production exceeds 4.4 million tons. India is a sea of shrimp production: the country recorded a record high production of 9 lakh tonnes (900,000 metric tonnes) of cultured shrimp in 2021. Andhra Pradesh was the major contributor to cultured shrimp culture, amounting to around …

  Enhancing Mechanical Properties by Parameter Optimization in Fiber and Particle Reinforced Composites

  By Shikalgar Niyaj Dilavar, Ashwin Sailesh, Manas Ranjan Sahoo, DVSSSV Prasad, K. Suresh Kumar, M Vamsi Krishna, R. Anandkumar, Murali. D, G. Nalinashini

  Abstract: This research focuses on optimizing the mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid fiber and particle-reinforced composites through systematic parameter optimization using the Taguchi method and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Composites were fabricated using varying fiber volume fractions (20%, 30%, and 40%), particle sizes (20 μm, 60 μm, and 100 μm), and curing temperatures (60°C, 80°C, and 100°C) in a 3-factor, 3-level experimental design. Key properties such as tensile strength, impact …
