Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the mechanical properties of developed composite plates by varying
percentage of jute. Composite materials and layered structures based on natural jute fibers are increasingly
regarded as an alternative to glass fiber reinforced parts. One of their major fields of application can be found in
structural components for the automotive industry. The composite plates are fabricated by hand layup techniques
which is very economical. The flexural properties under three point bend test are investigated experimentally by
using the theory of bending of beam. Experimental results shows that the composite plate made with jute (60%) have
strength closely related to plate made up of glass fibre (100%), finally the developed reinforced composites are then
characterized by flexural strength, bending stress and compressive strength. Also, impact test is performed on
Charpy Impact testing machine to assess shock absorbing capability of material.
