Mechanical Behavior of Handmade Epoxy-Based Composites

Abstract

The development of products in a variety of industries is now being increasingly influenced by material advancements. Many experts are looking for basic materials that are strong, light, and inexpensive. Solids are often rather thick, whereas light materials are weaker. To attain significant strength while lowering weight, we use composite materials. This work deals with the mixed effects of composites made by hand using an epoxy tar and a hardener along with different fiberes of chopped mate (KC), Kenaf (KA), and Kevlar (KB). Mechanical studies such as tensile (UTS), flexural (FL), impact (IM), and hardness (BHN) were conducted after creating specimens according to standard measurements.
