TI  - Young’s modulus estimation techniques for the randomly oriented natural fiber reinforced composites: Finite element analysis and analytical models
AB  - In the study, elastic modulus estimation methods of natural fiberreinforced composites considered as alternatives to synthetic fiberreinforced composites have been investigated. Finite element analysis(FEA) and some mathematical models which are used for synthetic fiberreinforced composites were preferred. During the study, randomlyoriented cotton fiber reinforced composites at different fiber ratio byvolume were investigated and the tensile test results were foundexperimentally. Experimental data were compared with data obtainedusing finite element method and current analytical models. Particularlyin low fiber reinforced composite samples, the data obtained from theanalytical models approximated between 2-4% of the experimentaldata. On the other hand, in the analysis by the finite element method, itis observed that the difference with the experimental results is openedas the high deformations are occurred. The most suitable analyticalmodels have been found in the study and have been proposed for suchcomposites. Moreover, the behavior of composites can be simulated byfinite element methods and closed results (17-23%) are revealed in thisrespect.
