Introduction Test Specimens/ Models Discussion

Use of Date Palm Fiber (DPF) is a way of Sustainable construction and Among the ratios tested, each showed unique strengths. The one with ratio
is available locally. DPF has adequate tensile property can be used for 70:30 (E:F) is the toughest, great for resisting scratches and dents.
Structural applications. Many studies conducted on using DPF in Meanwhile, the fourth ratio is excellent at absorbing shocks, making it
construction. In this study Epoxy is used as a polymer along with DPF perfect for things like car bumpers. Plus, it can stretch quite a bit without
to find its mechanical properties and numerical analysis of its breaking, handy for flexible structures. Understanding these differences
structural applications. helps pick the right mix for different jobs, ensuring things stay strong and
safe
Objectives & Scope
• To identify the mechanical properties of DPF with Epoxy for different
Computational Model for Structural
ratio, Applications
• To perform numerical analysis of DPF and epoxy for different structural
applications.
Literature Review
• Al-Mosawi, Al-Tamimi, and Sbarswai (2023), studied on manufacturing and
mechanical properties of Epoxy–Date Palm Fiber Composites
. • Investigation of Physical, Mechanical Properties of Treated Date Palm Fibre
and Kenaf Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid Composites (2022) by Sreekumar,
Menon, and Mohanapriya. This review compares the mechanical properties of
Result and analysis
untreated and treated DPF reinforced epoxy composites.

Methodology After receiving the test results, we utilized FreeCAD to design a table
that could withstand the expected loads. With careful consideration of
 Finding composite specimens Strength, the material properties and structural integrity, we simulated the
- Impact test, application of load within the software to ensure the table's durability
- Tensile test, and safety. This digital testing allowed us to refine the design and
make any necessary adjustments.
- Compression test,
- Hardness test,
- Torsion test.. Conclusion
 Computational Modelling
- Modelling of elements This project successfully achieved its objectives of identifying the mechanical
