Implication

Randomized trial investigates flexural responses in agro-waste hybrid composites, suggesting sustainable improvements for structural materials.

Key Points

This study aims to compare the bending performance and structural integrity of hybrid composites reinforced with cassava peel ash and coconut husk ash under extreme loading conditions.
Hybrid composites were produced with 10 wt% reinforcement using stir casting.
Three-point bending tests were conducted as per ASTM D790 to evaluate flexural performance.
Different agro-waste-to-alumina ratios were examined for their effects on structural response.
CPA-reinforced composites achieved a maximum flexural strength of 329.44 MPa and flexural modulus of 12.40 GPa.
CHA-reinforced composites exhibited a strain at failure of 0.21 and deflection of 11.44 mm.
Balanced hybrid reinforcement offered optimal strength, stiffness, and energy absorption, despite drawbacks from excess agro-waste.
