Abstract :
The requirement for clothing in the wolrd is getting bigger day by day,
because there is fashion trend is growing faster. In other side because the
production of clothing is very high, must be have a new problem, and that
problem is the rest of production is to much. And this alternate of the junk is make
it change to the composite material. The composite is a material make from
several material which to make a new material as a needed. The goal of this
research to developed leftover cloth to a new useful material. This research
analyzing mechanical strength from the fabric fiber and fiber glass.
This specimen make from fiber glass WR 600 and fabric fiber as a main
material, with the resin and hardener as matrix. The comoposite make it with
hand lay-up technique. The varian that using in this testing is variaton between
fiber glass and sheet cloth. The testing method using ASTM D638-02 as a
requierement of tensile test and ASTM 790-02 as a requierement of bending test.
The results of this research is the highest mean of tensile testing on variant
fabric-glass-glass-fabric or the layer with D-code value is 113,305 MPa. For
bending testing is the highest mean is on variant glass-fabric-fabric-glass or the
layer with B-code value is 229,995 MPa.
