Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used for reinforcing members, its abilities
like high strength, light weight, corrosive resistant and resistance to aggressive environments provide an
effective solution to problem of deterioration. FRP‘s materials had a significant effect by environmental
conditions like moisture, temperature, thawing etc. and reduce the durability. Of these the most important
environmental factors effecting durability is moisture and temperature variation in surroundings. The
moisture and temperature together impact is called hygrothermal effect. The present paper aims to
investigate the reliability of FRP composites under hygrothermal conditions, since they have a high impact
on degrading effect that needs accurate investigation in evaluating durability of FRP‘s. The mechanical and
physical properties like capacitance, micro hardness, diffusivity also determined, and hygrothermally
exposed specimens are compared with unexposed laminate composites and results are analysed.
Keywords: FRP, strength, light weight, durability, hygrothermal, capacitance, micro hardness, diffusivity.
2. Capacitance test
In order to relate the moisture
absorption rate with capacitance, the capacitance
and impedance readings from RCL meter are
used (shown in figure-2). To create magnetic
field in the specimen copper strips were used as Figure-3. Indent of the specimen
terminals.
4. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)
To find the micro structure of the
specimen scanning electron microscope is used
and polishing is done by gold coating equipment
and microstructure is obtained at magnification
factor of 2000X and 1500X.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, Natural fibers being used widely in Engineering and Technological fields. Natural
fibers like jute, sisal, hemp, lufa, coir, banana, oil palm, flax etc., which are derived from annually
renewable resources, are compatible with the environment. In an effort to develop a Superior but economical
composite, a natural fiber can be combined with a synthetic fiber in the same matrix material which gives
well advantage of the properties of both the fibers. This project deals with the mechanical testing of tensile,
impact and flexural properties of alkali treated woven jute natural fiber and woven glass fiber reinforced
epoxy composite has been evaluated experimentally. Hand lap up method is used to fabricate the jute-glass
fiber laminates of hybrid epoxy composite with Iron-Oxide/Ferric-Oxide (Fe2O3) as a filler material.
Specimen preparation and testing carried out as per ASTM standards.

ABSTRACT
Now a days, people have a penchant for luxury, comfort and safety in each and every aspect of their lives
provided money and technology available with the mankind. This project aims towards reducing the physical effort by
humans to lift an automobile by automating the Hydraulic Jack through coupling it with a wiper motor and a radio
frequency (RF) module. It works on the mechanism of conversion of rotatory motion of the wiper motor into the
reciprocating motion of the hydraulic jack‘s plunger. The functioning of the motor being controlled by the RF module and
a remote, through simple push of a button one could lift a heavy vehicle thereby reducing the physical effort considerably.
A prototype illustrating the aforementioned mechanism was designed and fabricated. Also, it was tested and its functioning
can be successfully illustrated.
