A WOOD REPLACEMENT MATERIAL OF SANDWICH STRUCTURE USING COIR FIBER MATS AND FIBERGLASS FABRICS AS CORE LAYER

The tensile strength and bending strength of natural coir fiber are lower than many other natural fibers. Therefore, coir fiber is unsuitable for many fiber reinforcement applications. This study exploits the better shock resistance and toughness of coir fiber, which suggest that coir fiber can be u...
