dc.description.abstractThe growing environmental concerns and consumer awareness of eco-friendly products have increased the importance of natural fibre. Natural fibres can be described as a fibre that obtained from natural sources such as animals and plants. Natural fibres are categorized as an environmental friendly material, which contains good properties compared to synthetic fibres. Hence, the increasing trend for company to develop products based on the natural resources in order to fulfil demands from customer. This study presents the investigation of the mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fibre and jute fibre in terms of their flexural and tensile strength by using simulation method. It is important to find out the mechanical properties of this natural fibre reinforced composite materials in order to compare if it will make better packaging bag that can be used for SME industries compared to existing plastic bags. ANSYS R1 2021 student version software had been used to run the simulation. For the flexural test specimen, the sample shaped is based on the rectangular bar shaped whereas for the tensile test, dog-bone shaped is used. The results shows that each fibre have different flexural and tensile strength. Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is found to have the highest flexural and tensile strength in comparison with jute fibre and Polyethylene Hence, PALF is the most suitable fibre to be used as packaging material. � 2023 AIP Publishing LLC.en_US
