Novel extraction techniques, chemical and mechanical characterisation of Agave americana L. natural fibres
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the manufacturing and tensile static behaviour of natural fibres produced with novel extraction techniques, such as immersing the blades of the Agave leaves in water for 10-13 days in a container, and another sustainable extraction process during which the leaves are buried in earth for 90-days.

Acoustic emission energy as a fatigue damage parameter for CFRP composites
TL;DR: In this paper, acoustic emission (AE) measurements along the gauge length indicated important critical intra and inter laminar damage occurring as early as 27% of ultimate tensile strength (UTS), typically 0.3% ultimate strain, for laminates with 90° layers.

Thermochemical and statistical mechanical properties of natural sisal fibres
TL;DR: In this article, the diameter-dependent tensile strength and Young's modulus in 40 sisal fibres samples were described from a statistical perspective, showing the significant sensitivity of the Weibull predictions versus the number of fibres used in the distributions.

The Effect of Alkaline Treatment on Mechanical Performance of Natural Fibers-reinforced Plaster: Optimization Using RSM
TL;DR: In the last decades, eco-friendly materials are playing an interesting role. Particularly, many studies deal with the use of natural fibers as a replacement to synthetic fibers in the plaster matri...

Mechanical properties of vegetal yarn: Statistical approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of the vegetable sisal yarns, with a twist angle equal to 13° and a linear density of 232tex, subjected to tensile quasi-static loading were determined.
