Abstract

Abstract: In the last twenty years, the use of the natural fibers has grown due to their environmental, economic and social aspects. Jute is a tropical plant which is known and popular in South west Asia countries. These fibers are used in many fields such as composites, fabric and agricultural bags. In this work, the thermal and the mechanical characterization of the jute yarns were studied using thermo-gravimetric analysis and static tensile tests. The thermal properties of jute fiber show a high stability before temperature of 220 °C. The evaluation of the obtained experimental data shows a high dispersion of the mechanical properties and there is no significant effect of the loading rate on these properties. That is why a statistical analysis is performed using the two parameters Weibull distribution law.
