Description
Summary:In the recent year, with thedevelopment of technology the acceleration of the manufacturing of new productshas increased the use of raw materials in the industry. In addition todecreasing underground resources, increased environmental pollution has openedthe way for the use of natural materials in the industry. Also, the reuse ofmaterials, which were recycled by recovery methods, is both conservation andeconomical method in terms of raw material deficiency. In this study,mechanical properties of sandwich composites made of natural and recycledmaterial were investigated. In this context, core material with differentthicknesses (4 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm) were produced using different size granules(1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm), which were recycled from the used vehicle tire. Sandwichcomposite materials have become final with the combination of core materialswith natural jute fabric reinforced laminated composites. In order to test theusability of the produced sandwich composite materials as building material, themechanical behaviours of the sandwich composite were investigated under tensionand compression load. Test results show that mechanical behaviour of thematerial varies according to the granular size, thickness of the core material,and fiber orientation of reinforcement fabric.
