Abstract

Flax fibres, along with a number of other natural fibres are being considered as environmentally friendly alternative of synthetic in fibre reinforced polymer composite. This paper deals with mode II & III mixed mode delamination behaviour of flax behaviour of flax fabric reinforced polymer composite experimentally. The six point bending (6PBP) test was proposed and developed to obtain mixed mode ratios (II +III). The specimens used for six-point bending plates with woven flax fabric reinforced polymer composite. The experiment result shows non-uniform distribution of GII and GIII and considerable geometric non-linearity. 6PBP testing carried out based on different parameter of dimension (type II & type III) and type of Teflon.
