Evaluation of Mechanical Behavior of Hybrid Natural Fiber Reinforced Nano Sic Particles Composite using Hybrid Taguchi-Cocoso Method

For this present research investigation, hybrid natural fiber reinforced Nano SiC particles composite was fabricated and their mechanical properties has been studied. Experiments have been planned as per Taguchi’s Method. After preparing the composite material by hand layup technique and then the mechanical characterizations are performed. Multi-response optimization has been carried out by employment of a recently developed method for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), i.e. combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) method. For defining the relative significance of measured norms, pairwise comparison matrix was used. Optimal results have been verified through confirmatory experiments. Based on the experimental observations ultimate tensile strength (UTS), density and flexural strength, ANOVA result indicated that density has highest impact for a better mechanical behaviour. This can be useful in different field of application for fabrication of different structures, parts etc.
