dc.description.abstract Some strength characteristics of jute fibres, yarns, fibre bundles, yarn bundles, mats, and jute mat reinforced plastics, have been determined. The hardness, fatigue life, flexural modulus and percentage increase in weight due to immersion in water of jute mat reinforced plastics have also been investigated. The mean experimental value of strength of jute fibre bundle correlates well with that obtained theoretically on the basis of Daniels' theory. It was observed that the mean experimental value of strength of jute fibre decreased with the increase of the gage length. There is a reduction of about 40% in strength when the gage length changes from 1 cm to 10 cm. The mean experimental values of strength of jute fibre for three different gage lengths (10 cm, cm,i cm) correlated well with that obtained theoretically on the basis of Coleman's theory. The mean experimental value of strength of jute mat was found to be about 1 times greater than the mean experimental value of strength of jute yarn bundle. It was Observed that the mean exPerimental values of strength and Young's modulus of jute mat reinforced plastics increased with the increase of volume fraction of jute in the composite. But the experimental Young's modulus values of Jute reim'orcea PaSt1CS Were found to he about 11/2 times greater than the theoretically calculated values on the basis of Netting-type analysis. It was also observed that the mean experimental values of flexural modulus, fatigue life, hardness, and Dercentare increase in weight due to immersion in water, of jute mat reinforced plastics increased almost linearly with the increase of volume fraction of jute in the composite. en_US
