The determination of depth profile of vertical fatigue cracks generated in thick cruciform sample... more The determination of depth profile of vertical fatigue cracks generated in thick cruciform samples using an ultrasonic phased array is investigated in this paper. The cracks were formed by conducting fatigue fracture test on two mild steel cruciform specimens of 135 mm thickness: one ...

The fibers are treated with 10% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 10% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) for 30 minutes. Woven banana and kenaf fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester (USP) composites were fabricated by moulding technique. The fiber content in the composite is kept constant to 40 %. The variation in the Mechanical properties (Tensile, Flexure and Impact strength) and morphological changes are studied.

Initially, optimum fiber length and weight percentage were determined. To improve the mechanical properties, banana fiber was hybridised with sisal fiber. This study showed that addition of sisal fiber in banana/epoxy composites of up to 50% by weight results in increasing the mechanical properties and decreasing the moisture absorption property. Morphological analysis was carried out to observe fracture behaviour and fiber pull-out of the samples using scanning electron microscope.► It explores the utilization of waste banana fiber. ► Improving the mechanical property by hybridization. ► Results show its usefulness to low cost application.
