The fibres are usually obtained from the leaves by mechanically scraping away the non fibrous material. Above all the leaves fibres are used for production of cordage and ropes. The most important fibres of this group are sisal‚ henequen and abaca. 2.1.3 Chemical Composition of Natural Fibre 2.1.4 Advantages and disadvantages of natural fibre

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”. -Swami Vivekananda I strongly believe that perfection is already in man‚ inherent in his heart and soul and education is the medium through which we are able to manifest that perfection. This century can be credited with having given birth too many ideas‚ visions‚ way of living and working. It can be credited with almost as many revelations of thoughts and practices. The world is ever changing. An ambition

Sheet molding compound (SMC) is fiberglass reinforced composite material‚ produced in a “sheet” format Bulk-molding compound (BMC) is a combination of chopped glass strands and Resin in the form of a bulk pre-preg. BMC is suitable for either compression or injection molding. Injection molding of BMC is used to

Dreamliner 787 is designed with some advanced features like it is made of 50% of composite material‚ light weight‚ nonstop flights between any pair of cities without any hauls in travel (Zimmerman & S.Tang‚ 2009). Boeing Dreamliner with the 50% use of composite material benefitted in two distinct ways of Fuel Efficiency and Easy maintenance due to which it is free from rust for several years. Fuselage and wing

stress and strain for various materials. The Stress-Strain Apparatus stretches (and in some cases breaks) a test coupon while it measures the amount of stretch and force experienced by the test coupon. Software is used to generate a plot of stress versus strain‚ which allows Young’s Modulus‚ the elastic region‚ the plastic region‚ the yield point‚ and the break point to be ascertained. Theory The ratio of the force (F) applied to the cross-sectional area (A) of a material is called the stress:

The key innovations that have brought about this advance in air travel include: Composite material construction High aspect ratio wing and advanced flight control systems Hi-bypass ratio and fuel efficient engines Computer Aided Design Composite material construction Composite materials‚ for example carbon fibre reinforced polymers ‚ which by nature have a higher strength to weight ratio than aluminium alloys‚ have been used extensively

Polymer (CFRP) composite have been widely used in various applications especially used in the fabrication of aerospace structures and formula one body structures. Because of their low density‚ high strength and rigidity‚ excellent resistances to impacting and corrosion‚ CFRPs are widely applicable in various important structural components. Other fibers like Kevlar‚ glass fibers‚ and aluminum may also be used along with carbon fibers. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer-matrix composites (CFRPs) are manufactured
