Khalid MY, Rashid AA, Arif ZU, Ahmed W, Arshad H, Zaidi AA (2021) Natural fiber reinforced composites: Sustainable materials for emerging applications. The optimum parameter obtained for the simultaneous optimization of output responses are 20 wt% ISA-filled composite, 3 bar pressure, 5 mm stand-off distance, and silicon carbide (300 µm) as the abrasive particle. The assortments of optimum conditions obtained are justified by performing confirmatory tests. Further, a multi-criteria decision-making method, TOPSIS is implemented to perform multi-objective optimization. The optimal process parameter settings that will result in the minimum OC, minimum R a, and maximum RMR are determined for individual output responses by S/N ratio analysis. The rate of material removal (RMR), overcut (OC), and surface roughness ( R a) are considered to be the machinability indicators. The experimentations are planned as per Taguchi’s L 9 orthogonal array design of experiment (DOE) by considering the pressure, stand-off distance, composite type, and abrasive type as the controllable process parameters. The machinability of the fabricated composites is investigated through the Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) process. In this study, epoxy-based partially biodegradable sustainable hybrid bio-composites are synthesized by using a mixture of Human Hair Fiber (HHF), Luffa Cylindrica (LC) and various weights as filler (0, 10, and 20 wt% of Incense stick ash (ISA)) via ultrasonicator assisted hand lay-up procedure.
