Fabrication and Study of Mechanical Property Fly Ash and Jute Fiber Bio Composite

Abstract

With increase in population the market demand of the articles or the items were also increased. To feed the population different polymeric items or non biodegradable material are manufactured by industries, which decade the environment slowly-slowly. To over-come this problem the present study was done with the use of thermal waste i.e. fly ash and bio composite fiber as reinforced material with epoxy resin as matrix materials. In this study the mechanical properties such as flexural and compression of reinforced and matrix are discussed. Fabrications of different specimens of bio composite fibers are done by using hand layout method Different specimens are developed with different composition of constituent i.e. fly ash and jute fiber with resin matrix. 40 to 60% (wt % of the composite) of fly ash and 2% to 5% (wt % of the composite) of jute with matrix material for different specimen i.e. E1, E2, and E3. The mechanical properties were analysis after the testing of specimen on UTM (universal testing machine) servo hydraulic machine for compressive, tensile and flexural strength.

Keywords: fly ash, epoxy resin, hand layout technique and mechanical properties.
