G.; Chaudhari, D. S. Abstract: Nowadays composite materials are mostly preferred due to good mechanical properties and light weight nature than conventional materials. In composite material matrix and reinforcement play important role; as load is taken by matrix and transmitted to the reinforcement. Reinforcement can be either synthetic fiber or natural fiber. Manufacturing of synthetic fibers is harmful from environment point of view; hence recent research work is focused on use of natural fiber as reinforcement. In this research work Jute natural fiber is taken into account for reinforcement along with Synthetic glass fiber. Epoxy resin is used. Three types of composites are prepared X-321, X-322 and X-323. X-321 has only glass reinforcement which is 68 percent with 12 glass layers. X-322 has glass reinforcement (43 percentages) and jute reinforcement (7 percentages) with G/G/J/G/G layers arrangement. Two glass layers followed by one jute layer and two glass layers. While X- 323 has glass reinforcement (31 percentages) and jute reinforcement (14 percentages) with G/J/G/J/G layers arrangement. Mechanical properties of prepared composites are tested according to ASTM standards. It is observed that with decrease in total reinforcement mechanical properties are also decreasing. Compressive strength of X-321 and X-322 is almost same. Short beam shear strength of X-322 and X-323 is same.

D.; Kadlag, V. L. Abstract: With the heavy demand in plastic products, plastic industries are growing in a faster rate. Plastic injection moulding begins with mould making and manufacturing of intricate shape with good dimensional accuracy. To meet such requirements it is very important to adopt various advance technologies for the development of injection moulded components. This study deals with Design and Mould Flow Analysis of an automatic plastic injection mould for production of Luggage Bag Wheel. Plastic wheels, commonly used in standard bags, suitcases are manufactured by the injection moulding process all around the world. This wheel is manufactured in three steps. The material used for wheel is Polypropylene (PP) for inner core and Thermoplastic Elastomer - Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) for the Wheel Tyre. Guide bush is used which acts as a sleeve is made by material Derlyin (Polyacetal). Modelling is done by using Unigraphics (NX6.0). The elements of injection moulding tool are designed and analyzed by Mould Flow Analysis software. A Design of Experiments (DOE) of the moulding process parameters is used to identify key moulding parameters by analysing a multi cavity injection system.
