| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the mechanical behavior of kenaf short fiber reinforced epoxy composites under dynamic loading conditions using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). The composites were tested at varying fiber-to-epoxy ratios (1:5, 1:10, and 1:15) and different pressure levels (1 bar, 1.15 bar, 1.25 bar, 1.35 bar, and 1.5 bar) to analyze their stress-strain characteristics, failure stress, and failure strain. The experimental findings show that all composites show a linear elastic area at first, followed by plastic deformation, and finally failure. Peak stresses and strains are often increased with increasing fibre content, suggesting enhanced load-bearing capacity under dynamic loading. Higher fibre ratios however also result in more variation in mechanical behaviour, emphasising the significance of customising composite design for given applications. The study indicates that increasing pressure levels result in increased peak stresses, suggesting improved mechanical characteristics under dynamic loading circumstances. Variations in Young's modulus is an important indicator of material stiffness in situations where strong structure is required. The results highlight the potential of epoxy composites reinforced with kenaf fibre for applications requiring resilience to impact, strength, and sustainability | |
