Abstract
Natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced composites are currently being applied in practically every engineering subfield. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the static and dynamic behaviors of composite materials produced using jute and glass fiber-reinforced polyesters. This was achieved by evaluating their static mechanical parameters such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, flexural strength, and critical buckling load. Impulse Excitation Method (IET) was also used to determine the dynamic elastic and shear modulus as well as the damping performance of the composite under dynamic response. The results showed that the tensile strength of glass fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) was 38.19% higher than the jute fiber-reinforced polyester (JFRP). Meanwhile, both composites had comparable mechanical properties such as almost the same flexural strength. The IET tests conducted also showed that the dynamic shear modulus and damping performance of both composites had a similar level of effectiveness. This means non-destructive tests such as the IET test can be used to determine the properties of a composite board quantitatively as well as to monitor the structural integrity of the board and the quality of its fabrication.
目前,天然纤维和合成纤维增强复合材料实际上已被应用于各个工程子领域。因此,本研究对使用黄麻和玻璃纤维增强聚酯生产的复合材料的静态和动态行为进行了比较。具体方法是评估它们的静态机械参数,如弹性模量、拉伸强度、弯曲强度和临界屈曲载荷。此外,还采用脉冲激励法(IET)测定了复合材料在动态响应下的动态弹性模量、剪切模量和阻尼性能。结果表明,玻璃纤维增强聚酯(GFRP)的拉伸强度比黄麻纤维增强聚酯(JFRP)高 38.19%。同时,两种复合材料的机械性能相当,如抗弯强度几乎相同。所进行的 IET 测试还表明,两种复合材料的动态剪切模量和阻尼性能具有相似的效果。这意味着 IET 试验等非破坏性试验可用于定量确定复合板的性能,以及监测复合板的结构完整性和制造质量。
