Summary:

This study will explore the banana fibre-reinforced composites (BFRC) as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibre composites using experimental testing and numerical models. Composites were made using compression moulding and hand lay-up techniques with varying the fibre's orientations and contents. Mechanical testing was done in conformity with ASTM criteria, with a focus on tensile properties. Strong correlations were established between the prediction models developed by finite element analysis (FEA) using AUTODESK Fusion 360 and the experimental data were predicted by Using the Hirsch model, the tensile strength and modulus of the composites were computed the findings showed that adding more fibre improved the mechanical qualities, especially the tensile strength. The process of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was used to find defects in the BFRC
