ABSTRACT : |
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites contains strong fibers embedded within a light polymer matrix. Owing to its light weight, high tensile strength, non-corrosive properties, and ease of handling and installation it has gained considerable worldwide interest and growing acceptance in the construction industry. This paper presents the effect of fiber orientation on mechanical properties of nano FRP composites. Here two different combinations of composites FRP are developed with coconut shell powder by layered manufacturing techniques and mechanical properties are measured and compared with different orientation. Observations show that the mechanical property (ultimate tensile strength, impact strength and hardness) yields good result for the 45 degree orientation of hybrid FRP (mixture of polyster, Bamboo and E-glass).
Keywords: orientation: ultimate tensile strength; impact strength; hardness. |
