    This document discusses the design and fabrication of a leaf spring using bamboo fiber, coconut fiber, and epoxy composite materials. It provides background on the properties of bamboo fiber, coconut fiber, and epoxy resin. The process involves mixing bamboo and coconut fibers at a 75% ratio with epoxy resin at 25% and molding the composite into the shape of a leaf spring using a die. The resulting leaf spring composite is evaluated based on its tensile strength, hardness, and toughness.

    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF LEAF

    SPRING BY USING BAMBOO AND


    COCONUT FIBER WITH EPOXY
    ABSTRACT
    • In present year’s natural fiber composite material locale a
    major role in industries like aerospace and automobile. The
    natural fiber is amplified by hook up with plastics. The ample
    availability of aramid and natural fibers such as basalt,kevlar,
    Palm fiber ramie, sisal, jute, banana, bagasse etc.
    • Common matrix materials include epoxy, phenolic, polyester,
    polyurethane vinyl ester etc.
    • The composites formed by fibres gained attention due to their
    low cost, light weight, renewability, low density, high specific
    strength, non abrasivity, non toxicity and biodegradability etc.
    • In this paper discussed the natural fiber composite leaf spring
    by using bamboo fiber and coconut fiber with Epoxy
    composite and to evaluate the Mechanical properties of leaf
    spring (Tensile strength, Hardness, Toughness Examination).
    INTRODUCTION
    • In recent years, polymeric based composites materials are
    being used in many application such as automotive, sporting
    goods, marine, electrical, industrial, construction, household
    appliances, etc.
    • Polymeric composites have high strength and stiffness, light
    weight, and high corrosion resistance.
    • Natural fibres are available in abundance in nature and can be
    used to reinforce polymers to obtain light and strong materials.
    • The natural fiber present important advantages such as low
    density, appropriate stiffness, mechanical properties with high
    disposability and renewability. In this project are used the
    natural fibre of bamboo fiber and cocnut fiber using matrix
    composites, .
    EXISTING APPLICATIONS

    • Automobile parts such as rear view mirror, visor in two


    wheeler, billion seat cover, indicator cover, cover L-side, name
    plate were fabricated using sisal and rosella fibers hybrid
    composites
    • decks, docks, window frames and molded panel components

    • Die
    BAMBOO FIBER

    • Bamboo is a regenerated cellulose fiber produces from bamboo pulp.


    • Bamboo fiber is biodegradable textile material.
    • As a natural cellulose fiber, it can be 100% biodegraded in soil by
    microorganism and sunshine.
    • It’s decomposition process doesn't cause any pollution environment.
    • "Bamboo fiber comes from nature, and completely returns to nature in
    the end" therefore bamboo fiber is praised as "the natural, green, and
    eco-friendly new-type textile material of 21st century".
    • Physical and chemical properties of bamboo fiber are nearly close
    viscose.

    COCONUT FIBER
    • Coconut fibre is extracted from the outer shell of a
    coconut. The common name, scientific name and plant
    family of coconut fibre is Coir, Cocos nucifera
    respectively. Coconut cultivation is concentrated in the
    tropical belts of Asia and East Africa . There are two
    types of coconut fibres, brown fibre extracted from
    matured coconuts and white fibres extracted from
    immature coconuts. Coconut fibres are stiff and tough
    and have low thermal conductivity . Coconut fibres are
    commercial available in three forms, namely bristle
    (long fibres), mattress (relatively short) and
    decorticated (mixed fibres).

    EPOXY
    EPOXY RESIN – INTRODUCTION
    • Epoxy resin belongs to the principal polymer under the
    term thermosetting resins, which covers a wide range of
    cross-linking polymers including unsaturated polyester
    resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, and amino resins.
    Thermosetting polymers form an infusible and insoluble
    mass on heating, due to the formation of a covalently
    cross-linked and thermally stable network structure. They
    are generally amorphous and possess various desirable
    properties such as high tensile strength and modulus, easy
    processing, good thermal and chemical resistance, and
    dimensional stability. The term epoxy resin is applied to
    both prepolymers and to cured resins; the former is
    characterized by a three-membered ring known as the
    epoxy, epoxide, oxirane, or ethoxyline group
    EFFECT OF EPOXY
    • Epoxy resins are a family of thermo set plastic
    materials which do not give off reaction
    products when they cure and so have low cure
    shrinkage.
    • They also have good adhesion to other
    materials.
    • Environmental resistance.
    • Good chemical properties and good insulating
    properties.
    COMPOSITION

    BAMBOO AND
    COCONUT FIBER-75%
    EPOXY-25%
    DIE MAKING
    • The tooling involved in plastic molding is quite
    similar to that of stamping dies. The principal
    difference is that stamping requires force, while
    molding does not. In plastic molding, two units
    are required whose design is such that, when
    brought together, they make up a system of closed
    cavities linked to a central orifice. Liquid plastic
    is forced through the orifice and into the cavities,
    or molds, and when the plastic solidifies, the
    molds open and the finished parts are ejected.

    LITERATURE REVIEW
    Joseph et al. [11] studied the physical properties of natural fibre and concluded
    the physical property of natural fibres depend mainly on the nature of the
    plant, locality in which it is grown, age of the plant, and the extraction method
    used.
    Salit [15] studied the background of the importance of natural fibres. The
    advantages and disadvantages of tropical natural fibres are listed. The
    information about fibre extraction process, the application of fibres and other
    important topics are discussed.
    [21], Dendrocalamus strictus is commonly recognized as Calcutta bamboo [30],
    but also known as male bamboo [36], and solid bamboo [43]. Local names for
    this species are bans, bans kaban, bans khurd, karail, mathan, mat, butu mat,
    salis bans, halpa, vadur, bhiru, kark, kal mungil, kiri bidaru, radhanapavedru,
    kauka, myinwa, Phai Zang, bambu batu and pring peting[21,30,43].
    Gatenholm et al.(1991) [40] studied the nature of adhesion in composites of
    modified cellulose fibers and polypropylene. Cellulose fibers were surface-
    modified with polypropylene maleic-anhydride copolymer and characterized
    by contact angle measurement, ESCA, FTIR, and SEM techniques.
