  Eco-Sustainable Walnut–Hemp Reinforced Composites for Automotive Brake Applications

  By Mitali B. Gore, Ajit A. Bhosale, Deepak S. Watvisave, Ravikant K. Nanwatkar

  Abstract: The search for natural fiber-reinforced composites that can be used instead of manmade materials has been sparked by the growing need for eco-friendly materials in car brake systems. The study looks at three types of Walnut–Hemp Reinforced Friction Composites (WFRCs): WFRC-1, which is 10% walnut and 20% hemp; WFRC-2, which is 15% walnut and 15% hemp; and WFRC-3, which is 20% walnut and 10% hemp. Aspects like tensile strength, compressive …

  Thermal Analysis of Natural Fiber and Hybrid Composites

  By Sambhaji Lore, Ram Vishal G, Prasad Umarani, Siddhaling Rajnale, Vidyasagar Shetty

  Abstract: This study examines how natural fiber and hybrid composites reinforced with natural and glass fibers perform under thermal conditions specifically, the effects of temperature that are common in automotive and aerospace environments. To evaluate their behavior, the composites were tested at two elevated temperatures, 60°C and 70°C. Mechanical tests such as tensile and impact were conducted to simulate real-world operating conditions and assess how thermal, and moisture exposure influence the …
