Abstract
Filament winding technnique
Hand lay-up technique is the simplest method of composite processing.The processing steps are
quite simple. First of all, a release gel is sprayed on the mold surface to avoid the sticking of
polymer to the surface. Thin plastic sheets are used to get good surface finish of the product.
Reinforcement in the form of mats are cut as per the mold size.Then thermosetting polymer in
liquid form is mixed thoroughly in suitable proportion with a `polymer is uniformly spread with
the help of brush on lathe machine. Second layer of mat is then placed on the polymer surface and
a roller is moved with a mild pressure to relieve any air. The process is repeated for each layer of
polymer and mat,till the required layers are stacked. After placing the kept on the stacked layers
and the pressure is applieddeck etc. Generally, the materials used to develop composites through
composites.
Materials used
Matrix Epoxy, polyester, polyvinyl ester, phenolic resin, unsaturated polyester,
polyurethane resin
Reinforcement Glass fiber, natural plant fibers.
Introduction

 Composites are generally prepared by using various process we opted for hand layup
process.
 First clean the natural fibers in distilled water. After cleaned natural fibers are dried in the
sun light.
 The dried natural fibers are again cleaned by chemical cleaning process. In chemical
cleaning process the 80% sodium hydroxide is mixed with 20% distilled water.It’s again
dried in sun light.
 The dried natural fibers are cut to the length of 300 mm by manually in lathe machine.
 Resin and hardener in the ratio of 4:1 (or) 5:1.
 Initially the resin is applied and the first layer of natural fibre is placed followed by
application of epoxy resin over it.
Final product
Introduction (cond….)

Another layer of natural fibre is placed and then using a roller it is press rolled to
remove any entrapped air between the layers.
 Further layers of natural fibre are placed and resin applied alternately and the
procedure is repeated till the desired thickness of the composite is obtained.
This process continued till the required dimensions were obtained. Care must be
taken during the individual lay-up of the layers to eliminate the fiber distortion, which
could result in lowering the strength and rigidity of the spring as a whole.
The composite is then allowed to harden and then it is removed and trimmed to
dimensions manually using conventional lathe.
The obtained product is tested for its properties under loading and material
behaviour is studied under various conditions.
Objectives of work

Fabrication of natural based composites.

To prepare the specimens as per ASTM standards.
To Study the mechanical behavior of natural fiber reinforced composites
Evaluation of mechanical properties of the composites such as bending strength.
Compare the results with original properties.
Besides all these the main objective is to develop a low cost, low weight, low density & high
bending strength natural fiber based composite that can be used for applications of spring.
Methodology
Treatment of NAOH and drying the fibre in sunlight

checking the fibre volume fraction and mixing the resin in

required ratio

applying the mixture on the mould fixed in lathe machine and

allow it to rotate for 3 hrs continuously to settle the resin.

After 1 day we Remove the spring and it is Tested for its

behaviour under loading using UTM 8
