Abstract
In this project, hand lay-up technique will be used to fabricate polyester composite based on glass and jute fibre mates. Three different orientations will be considered in the fabrication for both composites. The characteristics of the material removal from the surface of the composite due to sliding condition will be investigated. Different applied loads will be considered to gain different shear force in the interface. Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) will be used to examine the influence of the shear force on the interaction between the fibre and the resin after sliding at different orientations. The outcome will be significantly contributed to the knowledge of composite science and tribology. The main findings of the work is that fibre orientation has very significant influence of the wear and frictional performance of jute fibre reinforced epoxy composites. Sliding distance control, the running in and steady state wear behaviour of the composites especially when the composite was tested in parallel and antiparallel orientations. Wear resistance of the composites found to be better in the antiparallel orientation followed by parallel and then normal. Jute fibres gave very promising results to replace glass fibres for the same composites at the same operating conditions.
