Tensile Properties Prediction of Polypropylene Reinforced Woven Kenaf Composite using Micromechanical Models

Natural fibre reinforced composites are increasingly used in various commercial applications but there has been little theoretical modelling done related to polypropylene (PP) reinforced woven kenaf composite. The objectives of this project were to predict the tensile properties of PP-Kenaf compo...
