Abstract
This research presents the development of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model for prediction of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre reinforced polypropylene. Previous studies regarding natural fibre reinforced fibres have only used mechanical and chemical testing in order to characterize the material behavior. Thus there was a need to develop FEA model that is capable of simulating behavior of these natural fibre reinforced polymer composites. The tensile FEA model of the 30 % OPEFB fibre reinforced polypropylene is developed using commercial FEA software package, ANSYS Release 14. The model was developed by using data from tensile test. The tensile test was conducted by using samples that conform to ASTM D3039 standard and the test was done on a universal testing machine (INSTRON 5585. Studies have conducted on different types of elements with ANSYS. Shell 181 element showed the best overall correlation and also has a low computation time. Solid element, Plane 182 also shows good correlation with experimental result.
