Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of recyclable jute fiber, without chemical treatment and applied compression load on the Recycled Jute fiber layers to be in uniform and unidirectional. To evaluate its the mechanical properties, weights of 5, 10, 15, and 20 g were taken and added to epoxy and hardener—ratio kept constant for all specimens. Specimens were prepared by hand layup technique and were cut using a manual hacksaw frame with subsequent filing to avoid sharp and uneven notches. Testing was undertaken in order to evaluate the following mechanical characteristics: tensile properties, three-point flexural strength, compression using a computerized UTM (Inston 3369).
