| description | This current study is to investigate the behaviour of the kenaf/wool natural fibre.
Reinforced composite elliptical cones with different content of fibre for each of the two
types separately in absorbing energy and the load capacity, the lack studies about the
composite elliptical tube, our focus was on this shape of shells of effect content of fibre
for each of the two types separately. Various fibre contents were considered, including
30 wt%, 35 wt% and 40 wt%. The composite elliptical tubes were subjected to an axial
quasi-static crushing test to achieve the study objectives; the methodology has been
divided into three main sections concerning the problem statement, the first section is
the mandrels preparation; the second section is specimen’s fabrication process and
finally is the crushing test. This study concerns the usage of the composite elliptical
tube as a collapsible energy absorbing device within an automobile structure, which is
supported at the distal end (i.e. the point of attachment) by a stronger structure and is
designed to behave in a manner more similar to the quasi-static axial regular progressive
mode. Therefore, quasi-static axial compression tests were performed on the tubes
using INSTRON universal servohydraulic testing machine. The materials used in this
study are polymer resin and kenaf/wool fibres. Environmentally friendly kenaf and
wool fibre were used in this study due to several advantages such as environmentally
benign, lightweight, low cost, no health risk, and availability. Results showed that
including 30 wt% has a higher value of load- caring capacity and energy-absorption
capability than including 35wt% and including 40 wt%. The results also show that the
wool fibre has a higher value of load-carrying capacity and energy-absorption
capability than kenaf fibre. |
