| Summary: | Pineapple leave fiber (PALF) can be considered as one of the green materials to the
industries, which is the potential to replace the non-renewable synthetic fiber. However, the high
disparity in the mechanical properties of PALF becomes an issue in structural composite design.
Hence, improved Weibull distribution is utilised to quantify the tensile strength variation of PALF
in various gauge lengths. The single fiber tensile test was performed after the fiber surface treatment
and fiber diameter scanning. The predicted PALF strength by applying the improved Weibull
distribution incorporating with conical frustum model is well compromised with experimental data
compared to the traditional Weibull model. |
