Analysis of the tensile strength of polyester/hybrid ramie–cotton fabric composites
Abstract
Abstract Plain weave hybrid ramie–cotton fabrics were used as reinforcement in polyester matrix composites. The tensile strength of the composites was determined as a function of the volume fraction and orientation of the ramie fibers. Composites were tensile tested with ramie fibers oriented parallel, (0), to the tensile axis and with various stacking sequence configurations (0/90). The results obtained showed that the main parameter governing the tensile properties of the composites was the ramie volume fraction parallel to the direction of the tensile axis. The contribution of the cotton fibers was shown to be minimal. Indeed, the results obtained for the tensile strength of the (0) composites were shown to follow a common rule of mixtures law, disregarding the contribution of the cotton fibers. Values of tensile strength of up to 338% greater than that of the matrix were obtained which shows the potential of the ramie fiber as reinforcement in lignocellulosic fiber composites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
