Description
Summary:This paper proposed the methodology for investigating the tensile properties of banana fibre. For the high tensile strength, and good heat resistance capacity the banana fibre is preferred in garments and making yarn. The epoxy resin and extracted banana fibre were selected as the matrix and reinforced materials. The composites were produced with the various ratios of epoxy and banana fibre The present work spotlighted the study of mechanical properties of banana fibre/epoxy resin composite at 30%, 40% and 50% volume fractions of banana fibre and different fibre directions 00, 450 & 900. The mechanical property like tensile strength is experimentally evaluated. The results indicate the high tensile strength was achieved due to the proper ratio selection of banana fibre and epoxy resin.
