EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL PRODUCED FROM SHORT BAMBOO FIBRE WITH CARBONIZED BONE PARTICLES IN AN EPOXY MATRIX
Keywords:
ANOVA, RSM, Epoxy, Carbonized bone, Bamboo, CompositeAbstract
In this study the potential use of short bamboo fibre and carbonized bone with epoxy as a binder for the production of a new composite material to be used in producing a light weight engineering material was investigated. The Modulus of rupture, modulus
of elasticity and tensile stress tests to assess the mechanical properties of the composite were carried out. The optimum results from the composites produced using short bamboo fibre had a composition of bamboo – carbonized bone – epoxy composition of 40%, 10% and 50% respectively. The optimum values of modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and tensile stress for the composite were obtained as 17.35 MPa, 7003.04 MPa, and 770.72 MPa respectively. The analyses of variance results show that all the model terms were significant indicating that changes in the levels of bamboo, epoxy and bone powder will have a significant influence on the modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and tensile stress of the composite material.
