Manufacturing and mechanical characterization of natural fibre reinforced biocomposites: application in a small wind turbine

In this work, new biocomposites were manufactured and mechanically tested. A resin from natural resources (SuperSap®) was reinforced by a bidirectional flax and oak wood laminates. Normalized tensile and three-point bending tests were performed and it was observed that the oak wood laminates in the...

Regarding the results of three-point bending, the oak laminates in the core provide a greater flexure breaking strength, which is a 10% higher than the flax reinforced biocomposite. SEM micrographs show both the accuracy of the infusion process and the good adhesion of the different natural fibres and bioresin. Finite Element simulations (FEM) were carried out at different pressures generated by three wind velocities (Vwind= 3, 8 and 11m/s).
