Analisis Kekuatan Komposit Resin diperkuat Serat Pinang
Abstract: Material is needed
in life, the material itself is used aims to facilitate human activities, in
the development of modified human material in various ways, one of which
composite materials. Composite is a combination of two or more elements that
get combined properties of the elements combined. Liquid Epoxy resin is a low
molecular weight organic group containing epoxide. The composite material used
is a fiber reinforced resin nut shell. Point of this study is know tensile
strength of fiber nut shell composite, variations in the composition of the
epoxy resin and fiber nut shell made in this study was 90:10%wt, 80:20%wt, and
70:30%wt, fiber length of 2 cmwith random fiber orientation. This experiment is
the tensile test. Tensile test was conducted to determine thetensile stress
each - each composition, the standard used is ASTM 638 02. From the test
results obtained on thecomposition of the composite tensile strength of 90: 10%
wt is 9.8 MPa, the composition of 80: 20% wt was 13.06 MPa and the composition
of 70: 30% wt is 14.04 MPa. Of the fracture surface can be seen that the fibers
are well distributed and the bond between resin and fiber is also more evenly
so that the tensile strength increased.
