INFLUENCE OF FIBER ORIENTATION ON INTERLAMINAR SHEAR STRENGTH AND WATER ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF RAMIE POLYMER COMPOSITE

摘要

In this paper new investigation has remained approved out on ramie composite to describe interlaminar shear strength and water absorption property. Ramie composites remain measured materials of excessive possible for engineering application. unique benefit of ramie composite materials aimed at the fashionable remains that the possessions of a composite can remain in the direction of an exact to an important level by the high-excellence of fibers and matrix and through varying the alignment of the fiber. The possibility aimed at this modifying of the possessions of the material is significantly superior, nevertheless, once diverse types of fiber orientations are collective trendy the similar resin matrix. Four orientations viz 0°/0°,0°/90°,45°/-45° and 0°/45°/-45°/90° remained considered aimed at studies. Mechanical possessions such as interlaminar strength and water absorption properties of ramie composite endured determined as per ASTM ethics. Hand lay-up procedure remained approved for the production of composite.it was experiential that orientation at 0°/0° exhibited substantial growth in ILSS possessions by way of related toward other and proportion of water absorption is less in the instance of 0°/90° orientation as compared to other.
