Abstract |
In this study hand layup technique was used to fabricate hybrid bio-composite based on jute and cotton fiber. Three different percentage of Nano fly ash was considered in the fabrication of the compos...ite. The characteristics of the material removal from the surface of the developed composite in dry sliding conditions were investigated. The ASTM G-99 standards are used to perform a tribological study of hybrid composites. The dry sliding wear of developed Nano composite tested on pin-on-disc tribometer. To optimize the parameters, the Taughi statistical method is used for experiment design. Different applied loads were considered and scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the influence of the shear force on the interaction between fibers and resin after sliding at different loads. The outcome significantly contributes to the knowledge enhancement. In order to analyze statistical data one way ANOVA is implemented. The main findings of the work was that percentage of Nano fly ash particulates significantly influence the wear and frictional performance of jute and cotton fiber reinforced epoxy based hybrid bio-composites. In dry sliding conditions, sliding velocity was second most significant factor which influences the running in and steady state wear behaviour of the formed composites. The composite’s wear resistance was found to be higher with 3 percent Nano fly ash particulates than with others. Jute and cotton fiber hybridization gave promising results to replace synthetic fibers in light weight structural applications at same operating conditions.show more
