OBJECTIVES:
The
objective of this research work is to develop new and improved material from
farm waste that is necessary for Local Content addition in Automotive industry.
INTRODUCTION:
Most
current researches are geared towards the engineering of Composites materials
to achieve properties and characteristics that are better and more desirable
than the primary metal, polymer or ceramics. These properties promote the use
of Composite materials for various engineering applications. Palm is native and widely cultivated in this
environment and palm chaff is a waste material that could be developed as
fibre component of
composites that could have resourceful application in the automobile
industry especially in the production of
automobile bumper. It is hoped that the research will facilitate the
current government Local Content initiatives and Automotive Policy.
METHODOLOGY:
Palm
fibre preparation.
Production
of the palm fibre reinforced composite.
Mechanical
test.
Simulation
using CAD.
Fabrication
of the car bumper.
ENVISAGED
CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE:
i.
This research will help to discover new
and improved material that could be used for production Car Bumper.
ii.
The research will help discover the
industrial use of Palm chaff which is regarded as Farm waste.
