Abstract
Nowadays, natural fibres are used as a reinforcing material in polymer composites, owing to severe environmental concerns. Among many different types of natural resources, kenaf plants have been extensively exploited over the past few years. In this experimental study, partially eco-friendly composites were studied by using kenaf fibre and PLA with four different sizes of fibre 0.5 mm, 1.0mm, 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm. The mechanical properties such as flexural of these composites have been evaluated. During the experiment, the finite element analysis was carried out to analyse the flexural properties, beside the elastic behaviour of the composites. An updated three-dimensional finite element model was developed in the Solidwork 2018 to determine the characterization of the composites under functionally suitable loading conditions. Different fibre length and different fibre loading orientations, including different materials have been conducted by the past researcher and have been widely used in developing countries. In Finite Element Analysis, the meshing process is important to indicates a good result between fibre and matrix which improved the flexural properties of the composites in the simulation analysis. The best size of fibre was determined in this research for the performance of flexural properties of the composites.
