摘要
The natural fiber (Luffa cylindrica fiber) reinforced epoxy composite has been fabricated and their structural responses (frequency and deflection) have been computed experimentally and numerically first time using the corresponding experimental elastic properties. The numerical responses are obtained with the help of an in-house MATLAB code developed based on the higher order finite element (FE) model. The completeness of the model has been examined by comparing the current FE solutions (frequency and the central deflection) with the reference as well as in-house experimental data. The effect of fiber volume fractions on the elastic properties is verified for four different weight percentage of treated Luffa fiber (0%, 3.2%, 6.4%, and 9.6%). Finally, the inclusive behavior of the current higher order FE model and the corresponding influence of the significant design parameter of Luffa fiber-reinforced composite structure have been debated by solving different numerical examples.
