Design-Analysis And Evaluation Of Gfrp-Epoxy Composite Reinforced With Aloe-Vera And Prosopis Juliflora Based Bio-Natural Composite For Automotive Interior Components
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the potential application of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) epoxy composite reinforced with natural fibers of Aloe Vera and Prosopis Juliflora for automotive interior components, specifically the instrument panel.Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to evaluate the tensile and compressive strength of the proposed composite compared to conventional materials like polypropylene.The analysis demonstrates that the GFRPepoxy composite exhibits improved tensile and compressive properties, offering a lightweight and environmentally sustainable alternative for automotive applications.This research highlights the integration of bio-natural reinforcements to enhance mechanical performance while supporting eco-friendly material development.
