Abstract

This study focus on the preliminary study of mechanical properties for composite reinforces pineapple leaf fibre through impact, tensile and torsion testing. In order reduces the agriculture waste, pineapple leaf fibre is used to replace other material in industrial production field. This is due to the environment effect when using synthetic fibre that can harm the environment and natural fibre as substitute. The purpose of this research is to fabricate different composition of epoxy resin reinforced with the pineapple leaf fibre through impact test, tensile and torsion test by using pendulum impact test, tensile testing machine and torsion testing machine. The composite will be mix with different contain ratio of the epoxy resin. Besides that, this project is to analyse the modulus of elasticity and rigidity. The mould of impact test is fabricated based on ASTM D6110. Universal testing machine (INSTRON) is used to get the highest modulus elasticity among the sample based on ASTM D3039. For the modulus rigidity, torsion testing machines used for this experiment based on the ASTM E143 and for the impact test, Charpy impact testing machine is used based. For the expected result, the mould for impact test is able to fabricate according to ASTM D6110 by using wood. The new composite is produce by using pineapple leaf fibre and epoxy resin. Then, the test is made according to ASTM E143, ASTM D3039 and ASTM D6110 by using different testing machine and lastly The highest range of modulus elasticity, rigidity and impact resistance in each of the composition is obtain.
