Analysis of natural fiber reinforced composites.AbstractThis study emphasize on the fabrication and testing of Grewia optiva/Basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites for use in internal applications of automobiles and aircraft. The study investigates the use of Grewia optiva fiber (local plant based fiber) with Basalt fiber, where chopped Basalt fiber (6, 9, and 12?mm) is reinforced in polyester matrix in combination with Grewia optiva fiber. Composite test specimen are fabricated and analyzed using a smart actuation system to evaluate the free vibrational behavior of the composites experimentally. The impact of various parameters including length of the fiber and its weight percentage on the free vibrational behavior of composites is determined. The percentage of individual reinforced fiber is varied (0, 4, 8, and 12?wt.%) maintaining fiber weight % constant, that is, 12?wt.% of composite. The experimental results help to identify the variations in natural frequencies of Basalt/Grewia optiva fiber based composites. B12/GO0 demonstrate the natural frequency of 67?Hz and 44.71?MPa tensile strength for 12?mm fiber reinforced composites. The finding from this experimental work provide insights into the potential applications of Basalt/Grewia optiva fiber reinforced composites for automobile and air craft industries.
