Abstract

Jute fibre Reinforced Composite have significantly substituted various other materials due to their resistance to corrosion, low cost and better mechanical properties. Applications of jute reinforced composite have been widely seen in fields like Aerospace, Automotive, Marine and construction. This paper provides an insight on effect of increase of layers on mechanical properties of jute fibre reinforced composite. Hand Layup method was used for the fabrication of the composite. Certain Mechanical properties such as Tensile Strength and Bending Strength were taken into consideration for the specimen and were evaluated using standard testing methodologies. An increase in strength was observed on increasing the layers of jute fibre binded with Unsaturated Isothelic Polyester resin. The final values of tensile and bending strength of a 5-layer specimen were observed to be comparatively higher with respect to a three-layer specimen.
