Some mechanical properties of untreated jute fabric-reinforced polyester composites

TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated the mechanical properties of woven jute fabric-reinforced composites using hand lay-up techniques as per the ASTM standard, including tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, impact strength, inplane shear strength, interlaminar shear and hardness.
Abstract
This research work is concerned with the evaluation of the mechanical properties—modulus, Poisson's ratio and strength—of woven jute fabric-reinforced composites. The specimens are prepared using hand lay-up techniques as per the ASTM standard. This is the first report by any single group of researchers in which tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, impact strength, inplane shear strength, interlaminar shear strength and hardness are given. This work being an experimental study on untreated (`as received' jute fabric) woven jute fabric-reinforced polyester composites, demonstrates the potential of this renewable source of natural fibre for use in a number of consumable goods.
