| Summary: | Woven composite based on natural fiber increasingly used for many applications in
industries because of their advantages such as good relative mechanical properties and renewable
resources, but there are some issues as cost and protracted development period to perform reliability
evaluation by experimental with real scale. Predictive modeling technique is use to minimize the
need for physical testing, shorten design timescales and provide optimized designs. Mechanical
properties of woven fabrics for technical textile depend on a) type of raw materials b) type and
count of warp and weft yarns c) yarn density and d) the type of weave structure. The effect of fabric
architecture to the mechanical properties is investigated. Woven kenaf composite is modeled using
the modeling software to get the properties of the model. Further, the model is analyzed using finite
element analysis to predict the mechanical properties of the woven kenaf composite. In addition, the
effect of the combination of yarn size and weave pattern to the woven kenaf composite is stated
base on the mechanical properties to predict the optimum structure of woven kenaf composite. |
