Abstract :
Nowadays, hybrid composites are new class of
developing materials due to their unique properties such
as light weight, good mechanical properties and low cost
compared to other synthetic fiber composites. In this
investigation, an attempt is made to study the bending
strength of natural jute fiber reinforced hybrid composite
subjected to SENB specimens as per ASTM standard.
Jute/glass fibers are used as reinforcing materials and
epoxy used as matrix with coconut shell powder and egg
shell powder as secondary filler materials. The total
volume fraction of fibers is 60% with remaining 40% of
epoxy resin including hardener. The fabrication of
composite was carried out using hand lay-up technique. It
was observed that the bending strength of the hybrid
composite specimen is greater in equal volume fraction of
Jute and Glass fiber. The bending strength is maximum
for equal percentage of jute and glass fiber in case of
notch along width and notch along both thickness and
width.
