Abstract
In this work three types of woven Plain twill and Basket composites are made of banana fibers/epoxy resin using handlayup method Mechanical properties tensile flexural and impact of three types of woven composites are compared to evaluate the effect of weaving architecture on the properties Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out to analyse the viscoelastic behavior of the composite Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is carried out in the temperature range of 40–140 °C at 01110 Hz frequencies Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis is carried out to investigate the fracture behaviour of the composite From the investigation it is found that plain type of woven composite has better mechanical and dynamic mechanical behaviour
