Green composites can reduce the use of synthetic fibers in many applications. The motivation behind the fabrication of green composites is their excellent biodegradability and recyclability. However, fundamental issues related to green composites are their inferior mechanical properties and the reinforcement’s hydrophilic nature. This paper presents the hand layup technique to produce green composites containing different ratios of synthetic fiber (E-glass) and natural fiber (Jute). The mechanical properties were characterized as per ASTM standards. The impact strength was also investigated for different impact energies. In addition to this, the numerical simulations using ABAQUS were performed. The experimental results for tensile and flexural results were compared and validated with finite element analysis (FEA) results. An error of nearly 4% was observed between the numerical and experimental results. The microscopic analysis of fractured tensile specimens indicated that more pull out of jute fabric in high jute weight percentage composites was the leading cause of its lower tensile strength.

绿色复合材料可以减少合成纤维在许多应用中的使用。制造绿色复合材料背后的动机是它们出色的生物降解性和可回收性。然而，与绿色复合材料相关的基本问题是它们较差的机械性能和增强材料的亲水性。本文介绍了手糊技术，以生产含有不同比例的合成纤维（E 玻璃）和天然纤维（黄麻）的绿色复合材料。根据ASTM标准表征机械性能。还研究了不同冲击能量的冲击强度。除此之外，还进行了使用 ABAQUS 的数值模拟。拉伸和弯曲结果的实验​​结果与有限元分析 (FEA) 结果进行了比较和验证。在数值和实验结果之间观察到接近 4% 的误差。断裂拉伸试样的微观分析表明，在高黄麻重量百分比复合材料中，更多的黄麻织物拉出是其拉伸强度较低的主要原因。
