Experimental Analysis of Mechanical Properties on Hybrid Composite Materials reinforced with Sawdust and Husk

Abstract: In this paper the hybrid composite material is fabricated with the combination of two different reinforcement materials namely saw dust and Husk. The test was conducted in this hybrid composite material according to ASTM D309 from which mechanical properties were taken for estimation. The Tensile and Flexural test were conducted according to the above said standards. The test were conducted with varying fiber percentage composition in the ratio of 40:50 , 60:60 for tensile test and 45:45 ,50:40 for Flexural test. The result were analyzed and the result showed 60:60 ratio of hybrid composite material has high Tensile Strength and 45:45 ratio has high flexural strength. This material can be well utilized for designing lightweight materials like automobiles interior parts, electronics boards and sports utilities.
