Download PDFNatural Fibre- reinforced polymer matrix composite materials has gain importance by virtue of their light weight. An attempt is made within this study to fabricate sandwich panel with jute fibre reinforced polymer composite as core and also Aluminium as face sheet. Flexural analysis of fabricated sandwich panel is furthermore performed. The hybrid polymer matrix, present in the core, is prepared by blending general purpose resin and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). The core thickness, fibre volume and the fibre length are varied and its effect on the flexural behaviour is examined. INSTRON machine is used to carry out the three point bending test, to study its flexural behaviour. Utilizing the ANOVA method, the impact of distinctive parameters on the flexural stress is examined, and a regression equation has been obtained exhibiting the influence of the parameters.
Keywords: Sandwich Panel, Polymer matrix composite, Jute fibre, General purpose Resin, CNSL, Flexural test.
