Download PDFRecent trends practicing in the industries evidenced the use of the Natural fibers like jute, pine apple, Gongura etc instead of the synthetic fibers in the Fiber Reinforced Polymer matrix composites because of their superiority in mechanical properties and bio-degradability. Vibration characteristics of jute fabric reinforced hybrid polymer matrix composites are investigated in this paper. These fibers are reinforced in The Hybrid polymer resin of combination of 15% Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and polyester resin. An experimental modal test has been conducted on samples to get the natural frequency, damping and mode shape. Experimental values have been verified with the computational numerical model developed by using FEM package ANSYS and the natural frequency of jute fabric hybrid polymer matrix composite is determined under fixed condition.
