1. Analysis of Failure Criteria in Laminas Reinforced with Unidirectional Curaua Fiber Fabric
Natural fibers are increasingly used as composite reinforcement in different fields of engineering. Caraua fiber stands out for its good mechanical properties and adherence to resin; however, little is known about its behavior in the manufacture of a composite or whether classic failure theory applies in this case. The present study assesses the mechanical p

2. Izod impact energy study of re-forced polisher matrix compounds with curaous fibers aligned and epoxy matrix reinforced with piassava fibers
ABSTRACT Polymer matrix composites have been applied in components such as helmets and shielding for which toughness is a major requirement. Natural fiber presents interfacial characteristics with polymeric matrices that favor a high impact energy absorption by the composite structure. The objective of this work was then to assess the Izod impact resistance

3. Weibull analysis of tensile tested piassava fibers with different diameters
ABSTRACT Environmental considerations in addition to technical, economical and societal benefits are increasingly promoting the substitution of natural fibers for glass fiber in polymer matrix composites. However, natural fibers are heterogeneous in their dimensions, specially the cross section, which plays an important role in their mechanical strength. It

5. The Quasi-static and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Epoxy Matrix Composites Reinforced with Curaua Fibers
The research of natural fiber composites is growing due to the fact that the green materials combine low weight with good mechanical properties. Curaua fiber arises as a competitive natural fiber due to its abundance, low cost and a variety of applications. In this work, different weight fractions of Curaua fiber were used in order to obtain this natural com

6. Curaua fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites: effect of impact modifier and fiber loading
Abstract Short fibers are used in thermoplastic composites to increase their tensile and flexural resistance; however, it often decreases impact resistance. Composites with short vegetal fibers are not an exception to this behavior. The purpose of this work is to produce a vegetal fiber reinforced composite with improved tensile and impact resistance in rela

8. Mechanical properties, morphology and thermal degradation of a biocomposite of polypropylene and curaua fibers: coupling agent effect
Biocomposites of polymers with vegetal fibers have a broad spectrum of applications due to their high specific properties in comparison to their counterparts made with fiberglass. Polypropylene, PP, composites with curaua fiber compatibilized with different concentrations of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene, PP-g-MA, were characterized according to the

9. Weibull analysis for the diameter dependence of the elastic modulus of curaua fibers
The curaua fiber is one of the strongest lignocellulosic fibers and is currently being considered as reinforcement of polymer composites for industrial applications such as automobile interior components and bicycle helmets. The tensile strength of the curaua fiber was found to display an inverse variation with its corresponding equivalent diameter. Since th

12. Charpy impact resistance of alkali treated curaua reinforced polyester composites
Natural fibers obtained from cellulose-based plants are being used as reinforcement of polymer composite owing to both environmental and technical advantages. One important technical characteristic of most lignocellulosic fibers is the bend flexibility, which allows them to resist impact forces. As a consequence, there is an increasing application of these l
