| Summary: | The objective of this paper was investigated to evaluate tensile, flexural and Impact properties of Palm fibre reinforced Epoxy composites (PFRP) and compared with Sisal fibre reinforced Polyester composites (SFRP). Untreated chopped Palmyra Palm fruit fibre was used as reinforcement in Epoxy resin matrix and chopped sisal fibre was used as reinforcement in Polyester resin matrix. The chopped palm fibrereinforced composite were prepared in volume fractions (Vf) such as 10 %, 20 % and 30 % of specimens by using Epoxy and the chopped sisalfibre reinforced composite were prepared in volume fractions (Vf) such as 10 %, 20 % and 30 % of specimens by using Polyester. The specimens are tested for their mechanical Properties strictly as per ASTM procedures. Static analysis is performed by FEA
based software ANSYS R15 with design constraints as Equivalent stress, Shear stress and deflection.The experimental result and analysis shows that the fibre volume fraction increases the tensile, flexural, Impact strength and modulus of the fibre reinforced composites |
