Numerous studies and research projects have been conducted to develop natural fiber polymer composites. The researcher and engineers develop a composite by reinforcing natural fiber with a polymer that exhibits the desired mechanical properties. The experiment determines the composite’s mechanical properties, such as tensile, compression, flexural, and impact strength. This paper presents the experimental study of the natural fiber-reinforced composite, where hemp and jute fibers were reinforced with epoxy polymer as the test specimens for the experiment. The primary approach involved fabricating composite samples with fiber-weight fractions and matrix compositions. Then the appropriate sample is experimented with for its tensile strength, compression strength, and impact strength. Another property of the composite’s the composite’s water absorption was investigated through a water absorbability test. Key results show that composites containing a 30% weight fraction of natural hemp fiber demonstrated promising mechanical properties. This composite showed a tensile strength of 50 MPa, a compression strength of 55.6 N/m2, an impact strength of 58.9 kJ/m2, and a water absorbability of 7%. These results may offer valuable insight into the mechanical behavior of natural fiber composites, which can be used to optimize material design and engineering applications. Understanding the limitations and strengths of these composites allows for informed decision-making in selecting appropriate materials for specific engineering projects. |
