Effect of Abrasive Water Jet Machining Parameters—An Experimental InvestigationBy Manikandan Vai, P. Amuthakkannan, A. Muthiah
Abstract: Machining studies on the fiber reinforced polymer composites is vital requirement for the composites application in different fields. Particularly advanced machining techniques like abrasive water jet machining can be machined with higher accuracy and distortion free composites. In this work aims to study the abrasive machining parameters on the basalt fiber polymer composites. The woven basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites were prepared using hand layup techniques. The machining effect of …

Review on Natural Fiber Composites: Banana/Hemp Fiber and Its Hybrid CompositesBy Manikandan Vai, P. Amuthakkannan, V. Arumuga Prabu
Abstract: The centuries ago usage of composites materials plays important role in industrial revolution. In ancient days Egyptians used straw as reinforcement in clay bricks to build house. With the invented of glass fiber and resins, glass fiber reinforced composites found its application in many areas. Abundance nature and moderate specific strength than most of the organic fibers, low density and biodegradable nature make the natural fiber as attractive reinforcement in …

Tensile, Flexural and Impact Properties of Luffa Cylindrica and Pineapple Reinforced Polymer Matrix hybrid CompositeBy Manikandan Vai
Abstract: Composites are emerging as realistic substitutes to the metal alloys in many applications like automobiles, marine, aerospace applications, sports goods, etc. Fiber composites offer many benefits such as low specific gravity, tensile strength and modulus, comprehensive strength, better fatigue strength, etc. Owing to the low specific gravity, the strength weight ratio and modulus weight ratio of these composite materials are markedly superior to those of metallic materials. Composites also afford …
