Abstract

This paper deals with chemical, physical and mechanical characterization using different techniques of tests such as: FTIR, XRD analysis and static tensile tests of jute fibre yarns. The analysis of experimental results obtained in static tensile shows that tensile strength and Young's modulus vary depending on the increase in the number of tested samples. Therefore a statistical analysis is performed using Weibull method with two and three parameters.

Keywords: natural fibre, jute, Weibull distribution
