Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composites in non-structural components have increased recently. The auto industry shows this tendency most clearly. The US exemplifies this. Short, random fibers commonly cause discontinuities in these composites. These factors contribute to the matrix's unequal stress distribution when loaded. Low strain rates accelerate composite material deterioration due to its non-uniform stress distribution. Due to non-uniform stress distribution. Composite materials woven into a reinforcing pattern may solve this problem. Nonetheless, most textile properties affect composite performance. This research focuses on static and dynamic mechanical characteristics of fabric-reinforced polymer composites. Examples include tensile and flexural stresses. The matrix, reinforcement, and composites make up the thesis work. The first cross-linking of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with Glutaraldehyde (GA) for a variety of volume fractions is done utilizing pressure compression and a vacuum. This is the first step.
