Development And Examination of a Composite Material Reinforced with Natural Bamboo Fiber

This work provides a novel replacement for fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) by integrating bamboo fibers into an epoxy matrix. Numerous studies are being conducted in this area to reach the intended standard. This composite exhibits a strong resemblance to synthetic fiber-based composites. This is mainly because to the benefits, which include low cost, biodegradable qualities, easy availability, nontoxicity, non-abrasiveness, and light weight. The representation used for the BFRP was a single cell model made up of 2 pair of fibers twisted integrally in a matrix of fibers. Tensile test was performed to analyze the Periodic constraints were applied to make the outcomes simpler. On artificial BFRP samples, tensile tests were conducted, and the results were contrasted with modeling results. For the simulation, we would build a failure case and run multiple tests with different model parameters to see how each affected the material quality. The energy cost of producing BFRP was calculated and compared to the energy cost of producing FRP. The energy cost of manufacturing CFRP was calculated to be between 380 and 420 MJ/kg, whereas the energy cost of creating BFRP was 72 MJ/kg. This endeavor is mostly motivated by this actual quantity, which is far lower.
