摘要

The present work puts forward an investigation into the structural behavior of functionally graded natural fiber-reinforced composite (FG-NFRC) beams applying finite element-based analysis (FEA) conducted on the ANSYS APDL platform. A comparative analysis is performed in terms of deflection and stress behavior of the FG-NFRC beams with different natural fibers and their distribution patterns. The analysis includes three types of natural fibers (bamboo, sisal, and kenaf) and four types of fiber arrangements. The fiber distributions are designed to maintain a constant volume fraction of fibers within the beam. The present study aims to provide insights for optimizing the design of FG-NFRC structures to achieve their best performance.
