Abstract

Humans have used composites for thousands of years. Nowadays, application of composites more used widely in many types of industrial. A composite material is a solid material that is formed by the combination of two or more distinct substances, each of which has its own set of properties, to produce a new substance that has properties that are superior to those of the original components in a particular application. In addition, composites obtain their extraordinary qualities by encasing fibers of one substance within the matrix of another substance, which serve as the host. The composite material consists aluminium honeycomb as core along the sheets panel (upper and lower) and nature fiber reinforced as adhesive. Material properties of the nature fibers and aluminium research has been done. Unfortunately, Malaysia has witnessed some of its worst floods for a long time. Many people have been physically and emotionally impacted as a result. Several of them experienced property damage and losses. Those who have lost their houses must find the designated flood refuge. Undoubtedly, the shelter will be full, as well as some refugees may have to remain in tents outside the shelter. The material of the tents was insufficient to shield and comfort the refugees from all weather conditions, especial1y extreme hot, in order to overcome the problems, modelling and assembly 3D nature fiber reinforeement honeycomb which sheet panel composite as skin while aluminium honeycomb as core using SOLIDWORKS. The 3D model has exported into ANSYS to perform simulation testing of material properties especially the thermal conductivity. Through the simulation testing, the most effective thermal conductivity of nature fibers can be determined correspond with previous research or thermal analysis. A new composite material can be identified in order to produce material of tents with most effective conductivity for flood refugees.
