Abstract

Polymer matrix composites reinforced with Synthetic fibers such as glass, carbon, aramid, etc. though they are expensive these are being used in various application since they favorable mechanical properties. Nowadays natural occurring fibers such as sisal, flax, hemp, jute, coir, bamboo, banana, etc. are widely used for environmental concern over synthetic fibers. Engineered bio-composites are needed to meet the needs of users for construction and commodity products which will simultaneously maximize the sustainability of natural resources. These engineered bio-composites are opening new markets in the field of commercial construction, automotive, aerospace and also reducing effects on the environment such as energy, air, water, and waste. Comparison of Experimental and FEM Tensile Strength shows very good agreement. It has been observed that the change in volume fraction of fiber has a significant effect on Elastic properties.
