RESULTS
effective use of PVA as chemical binder should be consideed to improve conductivity.

the r esult presented a decrease in fatigue life of composites when applied greater tension, due to
bonding interfacial, which was not adequate.

From the moisture content experiment, the moisture content of the soil sample was found to increases with
increasing percentage of fibre which attest to moisture retention of the materials. From this study
conclusion can be drawn that alluvial clay stabilized with coconut fibre can be use for farm structures as
it has the potential of absorbing moisture that could course damage to stored produce, reduce surface
wearing of structure when in contact with rain storm however, the material perform best at stabilization
ratio of 2% fibre:100% replacement level with OMC of 20% , failure load of 8.62KN/m2at dry MPD of
2.13kg/m3.

It is been identified that the thickness of the blade is an important criteria in the generation of the vibration
and noise and the reason for identifying eh natural frequency of the blade which helps in optimizing the
blade thickness and the vibration level.

based on the design concepts and development, output of the product. This product can de-fiber 100
coconutsper hour and it will be good it will be good for farmers and small scale coir industries.
GAPS
there is a need to improve the insulating performance of coconut fiber insulation.

it was observe some failure mechanism as fractured fibers and presence of pull out and poor
bonding interfacial between fiber and matrix.

It is therefore recommended for use by farmer in dynamic climatic condition such as that of
tropical countries.

it is observed that the cutting edge are sharper which is the existing one and it is been observed
that the breakage and wear of the edge occurs.

This product needs to undergo further refinement.
