Tensile Behavior of Geometrically Irregular Bagasse Fiber

In the present work, an investigation on surface topography and geometry variation of bagasse fibers was correlated with their mechanical properties via image analysis. The were tested under a universal tensile testing machine diameter calculated using images obtained in digital microscope. Furthermore, characterization quantification also performed SEM. results showed that roughness alkali-treated fiber increased compared to untreated one. Moreover, it observed along its length among different is not only variable but unpredictable. test revealed lower stress at rupture considerable scatter. It can be inferred synergistic effect thick fiber, variations fibers, fracture mechanism establishes local condition for resulted such properties. Finally, clearly two-parameter Weibull fit experimental data fairly well (R2=0.97). modulus (m) found 1.7, indicating strength distribution high.
