Vibrational, Thermal and Mechanical Performance Analysis of Hybrid Composite Plates Composed of Kenaf and Ridge Gourd Fibers with Waste Plastic Materials

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Before starting your paper, please read, “How to Write an SAE this study investigates the performance and highlights the mechanical, thermal, and vibrational characteristics of hybrid fibre composite plate composed of Kenaf Fibre (KF), Ridge Gourd Fibre (RGF), Waste Plastic Materials (WPM), and matrix materials. The raw materials under goanalkaline treatment involving 2hoursofagitation with 5% NaOH. Following treatment, KF, RGF, and WPM are combined with epoxyres in using compression moulding to form four different hybrid composite plates in the %wt of 10:20:5, 20:10:5, 10:10:5, and 20:20:5. Various tests are conducted to evaluate their properties, including the Tensile Test, Shear Test, and Flexural Test, adhering to ASTM standards D638, D7078, and D790, respectively. The results indicate that 20:20:5 plate showed higher tensile strength (21.70 MPa), flexural strength (77.23 MPa), and shear strength (18.13MPa. Subsequently, Thermo gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was conducted on the 20:20:5 composite plate due to its superior mechanical properties than other propositional plates and achieved peak temperature at 432.53<sup>O</sup>C. finally, all four hybrids composite plates were underwent vibration tests using impact hammer method experimentally, where the fundamental frequencies, damping ratio, and amplitude have better consistency on 20:20:5 plate compared to other combinational plates as well existing available literatures. So, the 20:20:5 proportional composite plate has significant applications in the manufacturing aircraft, automotive, thermal energy devices and construction industries respectively.</div></div>
