A Taguchi-based study on the control factors of reinforced composites with the fiber of coir and pineapple leaves

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: , 2.12 to 0.79 MPa, 3.54 to 0.33 MPa, 2.33 to 0.8 RHN, and 0.92 %-0.13 % for impact, tensile, and flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, and water absorption test respectively. Overall, ANOVA analysis was used to examine the effects of different control variables, and it was discovered that the angle of orientation of fibers had a substantial impact on flexural strength and water absorption rate were 72.30 % and 70.89 % respectively. Similarly, mat types on tensile strength and Rockwell hardness with 46.47 % and 50.67 % respectively. In addition, the impact strength was most significantly affected by the wt.% ratio of fibers, which was approximately 50.32 %. From the above characteristics and their environmentally friendly behavior, these composites can be used in the place of synthetic fiber-based products.
