3. Bio-composite validation The validation of the bio-composite, the reinforcement material such as jute fiber and core material are PVC foam. In this paper bio-composite structure validation have been carried out for T-joints. The compression test results are presented in Table 3, Fig.3, Fig.4, tensile test results plots and flexural test results plots also illustrated in Fig.5.
