Mechanical Characterisation of Fibre-Reinforced Composites with Eggshell Powder for Diverse Applications

In this work, the mechanical properties of six different composite materials are examined. These materials are made by mixing glass, carbon, and jute fibres with different amounts of eggshell powder and bind them together using epoxy resin (LY-556). To evaluate the composites’ tensile, compressive, and impact strengths, various fibre sequences and eggshell powder concentrations were used in their preparation. The strengths of the materials were assessed using a methodical experimental methodology, demonstrating the impact of eggshell powder content and fibre composition on the overall performance of the composites. The results show subtle differences in strength properties between the various composite compositions. The findings provide insight into the viability of these materials for particular structural engineering and manufacturing applications. This study adds to our understanding of composite behaviour and offers guidance for selecting and designing materials that will maximise their effectiveness in a variety of industrial settings.
