Design and fabrication of two wheeler mud guard using hybrid composite materials

Composite are produced when two materials are joined to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained in the original materials. Composite materials are widely used nowadays in various fields due to their unique property in weight. Reduction, High strength and rigidity and low cost. In the present communication it deals with fabrication and investigation by hybrid natural composite made from bamboo and aloe Vera fiber as reinforcement with epoxy resins as matrix. The objective is to evaluate the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural test and impact strength and to utilise this composite in real life application example field of manufacturing mudguard to produce advanced properties. It includes five layers of fiber and matrix, here fibers includes 3 layers of glass fiber to increase strength. The process is done by hand layup method.
