dc.description.abstract

The use of rules-of-mixture to predict the elastic modulus and strength of natural fibre-reinforced composites is often compromised by the fibre properties used in the calculations being derived with an assumption of circular cross-section, when real fibres have polygonal cross-section. A fibre area correction factor (FACF) has been proposed to address this inaccuracy and has been demonstrated to improve the predictions.
