Ganapathy T | Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology (original) (raw)
I obtained my bachelor's of engineering degree in the stream of Mechanical Engineering from Sri Krishna college, coimbatore in the year of 2013 afterwards I completed my Master of engineering degree with the specialization of CAD/CAM from Sri Krishna college ,Coimbatore in the year of 2015. Currently I am doing full time Ph.D under Anna university and joined my course on jan 2017 - Full time Research scholar at coimbatore institute of technology, coimbatore, tamilnadu, India.

reinforced epoxy composites at various compositions. The synergetic effect of graphene and banyan fibers, on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the epoxy thermoset, was studied. The mechanical tests, hardness, water absorption behavior and morphology of the composites were studied. Significant improvement in tensile strength, flexural strength, shore D hardness and substantial reduction in the percentage of water absorption was observed. This paper also discusses the ideal proportion of banyan fibers with graphene powder for the development of the improved epoxy composites. The optimum concentration of the composites was observed at 4% of graphene powder in the 40% banyan fiber-reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. From the results, it is proved that graphene combined with 40% banyan fiber-reinforced epoxy hybrid composites will efficiently improve the strength of the composites.

jute fiber. Though the availability of the sisal and jute fiber is more, it cannot be used for high
strength applications. A high strength-low cost fiber may serve the purpose. This project focuses on
the experimental testing of hybrid composite materials. The hybrid composite materials are
manufactured using three different fibers - sisal, glass and jute with epoxy resin with weight ratio of
fiber to resin as 30:70. Four combinations of composite materials viz., sisal-epoxy, jute-epoxy,
sisal-glass-epoxy and sisal-jute-epoxy are manufactured to the ASTM (American Society for
Testing and Materials) standards. The specimens are tested for their mechanical properties such as
tensile and impact strength in Universal Testing Machine. The results are compared with that of the
individual properties of the glass fiber, sisal fiber, jute fiber composite and improvements in the strength-weight ratio and mechanical properties are studied.
