Experimental Investigation on Effect of Fiber Content on Longitudinal Modulus of FRP
Authors(2) :-Prof. P. V. Savalia, S. D. Ambaliya
FRP is the Fiber Reinforced Plastic which means enhances the mechanical properties of matrix by using reinforcing fibers. In a present era importance of FRP are steadily increasing due to its advantageous properties. Various researchers have worked for high strength fiber reinforces plastic as an attractive feasible material to replace metal and conventional materials. In last two decades the attempts are also made with natural fibers to replace conventional FRP, normally Glass and Polyester or Epoxy. Normally the rule of mixture can give reasonable results for predicting the end properties of FRP in longitudinal direction. Hence, this dissertation work is aimed to found the losses in modulus of FRP by considering natural fiber jute as a reinforcement and polyester as a matrix. The systematic experiments are carried out by using suitable molds and appropriate equipment Tensiometer. The attempts are made to study the effect of volume fraction of fiber on modulus for continuous long fibers.
