Abstract

Over the past few decades composite materials have taken over the convectional materials in very field right from aerospace to automobiles to construction. The reason being they are light, cheap and affordable. Further natural composites are biodegradable to a greater extent. Many works and researches have been undertaken to study the properties and characteristics in the recent past. This paper deals with the study the effect of parameters (Thickness, Crack length and NaoH %) on mechanical properties of hemp reinforced composite using DOE technique. This research helps to optimize the parameters. Fracture toughness and yield stress it depends on the thinness of the specimen. NaoH treatment also improves the mechanical properties for a optimum percentage of NaoH.
