Abstract

Through the future, natural fibers are used as an alternative resource especially for environmental issues but then over the past few years, kenaf plants have been widely exploited among the different types of natural resources. The natural fibers have been able to gain both economic and environment-friendly. This research presents the effect of fiber size on mechanical and thermal properties of kenaf fiber reinforced PLA composites by using ANSYS software. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effect of fiber size on the mechanical and thermal properties of kenaf fiber reinforced PLA composites by using ANSYS software. In order to evaluate the effect size of fibre, 4 parameters have been set. An updated three-dimensional finite element model was developed in the Solidwork 2020 to determine the characterization of the composites under functionally suitable loading conditions. Past researcher has conducted different fibre length and different fibre loading orientations, including different materials widely used in developing countries. The meshing process is important and it indicates a good result between fibre and matrix which improved the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites in the simulation analysis. The best size of fibre was determined in this research for the performance of mechanical and thermal properties of the composites.
