Analytical and numerical investigation of water diffusion through Raffia vinifera pith

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed analytical and numerical approaches for predicting the water diffusion through raffia vinifera pith using Fick's law, assuming that the physical properties of fiber and matrix are constant, the resulting equations are solved analytically by the separation of variables method and numerically by finite difference method.

Investigation of Water Absorption Properties of 2D Interwoven Kevlar–Jute Reinforced Hybrid Laminates

TL;DR: In this article , a comparison of mechanical properties before and after treatment of the jute fibers is carried out, and it is concluded that the twill weave pattern and chemical treatment of natural fibers improved the mechanical properties of the hybrid laminate materials.

Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

The aim of this research work is to develop high performance structural composites using Kevlar 29 ( K ) and Cocos nucifera sheath ( CNS ). The Kevlar and CNS laminates were fabricated by using hand lay-up method followed by hot pressing. The weight ratios of Kevlar/CNS are as follows 100/0 ( S1 ), 75/25 ( S2 ), 50/50 ( S3 ), 25/75 ( S4 ), 0/100 ( S5 ).
