Abstract
Abstract Experimental and analytical Solution using classical shell theory solve by Matlab software was used to found thermal stresses under thermal load for natural composite materials pipe. Jute fibres were used in this work and reinforcements with polyester-resin. The experimental work including the manufacturing of the test samples (jute fibres/polyester) with different types of fibres orentiation (0°, 45°, 90°) by resin casting method. The volume fraction is 40%. Tensile and thermo-mechanical test were performing to find the mechanical properties of the specimens The results showed that Angle –ply fiber orientation natural composite had the highest strain and stress compared with cross-ply fiber orientation natural composite.
